The flexural modulus of plastic materials is a critical mechanical property that directly affects product stiffness, deflection behavior, tactile feel, and long-term durability. For applications exposed to wide temperature ranges, a correct understanding of the temperature dependence of flexural modulus is essential for reliable material selection and robust product design. This article reviews the temperature-dependent behavior of flexural modulus in representative thermoplastics and highlights key considerations that are directly applicable to practical engineering and design work. What Is Flexural Modulus? Flexural modulus is a measure of a material’s resistance to bending deformation. A higher flexural modulus indicates a stiffer material, …

Acrylic (PMMA) and AS Resin (Acrylonitrile-Styrene Copolymer) are popular thermoplastics known for their transparency and moldability. However, they differ significantly in durability, UV resistance, and applications. KEY POINT Acrylic is ideal for outdoor applications with excellent clarity and UV resistance. AS Resin offers better impact resistance and lower cost, but it is less durable under sunlight. What is Acrylic? Acrylic (PMMA) is a clear thermoplastic with high light transmittance (up to 92%) and excellent weatherability. Commonly used in signage, light covers, and displays, it is lightweight and resistant to UV degradation. What is AS Resin? AS Resin is a copolymer …

What is a POM Pellet (Polyoxymethylene Pellet)? POM (polyacetal/polyoxymethylene) offers several advantages: high rigidity and hardness, low friction coefficient, excellent wear resistance, high heat resistance, low water absorption, superb dimensional stability, good electrical insulation, greater creep resistance than nylon, high gloss and crystallinity, and low smoke emission. Common applications include gears, bushings, screws, nuts, washers, and spacers. POM is available in two types: homopolymer and copolymer. Generally, homopolymers exhibit higher crystallinity and superior thermal and mechanical properties compared to copolymers because of the continuous “−CH₂O−” backbone composed of identical monomer units. In contrast, copolymers contain “C−C” linkages in the backbone, …
