Sažetak
The polymeric materials belong to the most important class of the presently used technical materials and have made tremendous progress in the last years. Commodity plastics, polyolefins, poly(vinyl chloride), polystyrene and lately poly(ethylene terephtalate) make up most of the volume of polymeric metarials and have more than double in the last decade. Engineering polymers with improved mechanical properties are mostly used as constructive materials and include polyamides, polycarbonate, poly(butylene terephtalate), poly(oxymethylene), PMMA, SAn, ABS and some polymer blends. High performance polymers retain outstanding mechanical properties even at extreme temperatures. Newre advanced polymeric materials are speciality polymers, including liquid crystalline and electrically conducting polymers, organic/inorganic hybrids, dendrimer polymers, intelligent polymeric materials and others.
