A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Types of plastics

The core of plastic welding is the choice of material, as different plastics behave distinctly under heat, pressure, and chemical action. Mastering the classification of plastics—thermoplastics, thermosetting, and elastomers—enables students to select the right welding method and predict joint performance.
