- AmorphousMaterial
Material with a disordered molecular structure and no defined shape, which gives it transparency and impact resistance, but lower chemical resistance than semicrystalline materials.
- Amorphous MaterialsMaterial
Plastics with a disordered molecular structure that lack an ordered crystalline structure. Characterized by being flexible, transparent, and impact-resistant.
- CrystallineMaterial
Plastic material that has a molecular structure with combinations of highly ordered (crystalline) regions and disordered (amorphous) regions.
- PolymerMaterial
Material used throughout history due to its diverse properties. They can be natural or synthetic, classified into thermosets, thermoplastics, and elastomers.
