MaterialsMaterials:

   The material information provided to the plastics students starts with a basic understanding of the chemistry involved in the creation of the polymers. The next phase of their education delves into the differences between the many types of plastics as well as the properties which differentiate plastics from other materials. The final stage in the materials progression focuses on how materials are tested and how the acquired information can be used to design quality products. The materials piece of the puzzle provides the students with an in-depth knowledge of the plastic materials, which will help them to succeed in any plastics career.
