Introduction

Engineering plastics are specifically designed to possess superior mechanical and thermal performances as compared to conventional plastics. These materials are used where components need better strength, wear, and heat resistance, chemical and corrosion resistance. Some of the kinds of engineering plastic are listed as follows namely, polycarbonate, nylon, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and polyoxymethylene (POM).

Automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries are widely used for manufacturing parts such as gears, bearings, housing connectors, and so on. Engineering plastics on the other hand can perform better under conditions of higher stress and temperatures, unlike conventional plastics. Due to their flexibility and resistant characteristics, they play various crucial roles in the contemporary production and construction industries.
