Quick student answer
Which of the following polymers is known for its high impact resistance and toughness?
Direct answer
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is known for its high impact resistance and toughness, making it suitable for applications such as automotive parts and consumer products.
Key terms
- Polymer: A large molecule composed of repeating structural units (monomers), typically connected by covalent chemical bonds.
- Thermoplastic: A type of polymer that becomes pliable or moldable above a specific temperature and solidifies upon cooling.
Common trap
Confusing hardness with toughness: Remember that hardness is about resistance to deformation, while toughness is about energy absorption before failure.
