Polyvinyl Chloride generally known as PVC is a polymer which is widely produced after polyethylene and polypropylene. It is said to be the third largest most widely produced polymer. PVC is preferred against traditional materials that include iron, copper or wood in a number of profile applications due to its operational efficiencies and benefits. Pure polyvinyl chloride is a brittle solid white in color and slightly soluble in tetrahydrofuran whereas insoluble in alcohol. It can be made flexible and soft by adding plasticizers and phthalates. In flexible and soft form, PVC is used in electrical cable insulation, plumbing and inflatable products and some applications which can replace rubber. PVC has high mechanical and hardness properties, which enhance along with molecular weight and gradually decrease with rising or increasing temperature. PVC decomposes at high temperature as its heat stability is very poor. It has good insulation properties but owing to its high polar nature, its electrical insulation property is less significant to non-polymers that include polypropylene and polyethylene.

Polyimide fibers have been in mass production since 1955. Polyimide fibers have a high heat-resistance and enjoy diverse roles in applications demanding rugged organic materials, e.g. high temperature fuel cells and displays. In addition, polyimide fibers are a class of polymers notable for chemical, wear and radiation resistance. Polyimide fibers can be prepared by various means. Polyimide fibers are commercially prepared by a chemical reaction between a dianhydride and a diamine or a reaction between a dianhydride and a diisocyanate. Polyimide fibers are also inherently resistant to flame combustion and do not usually need to be mixed with flame retardants. Thermoset polyimide fibers exhibit high tensile strength and low creep. In addition, molded polyimide parts have very good heat resistance. Normal operating temperatures for such parts and laminates range from cryogenic to those exceeding 500 °F (260 °C). According to the composition of their main chain, polyimide fibers can be: alphatic, semi aromatic and aromatic. According to the type of interactions between the main chains, polyimide fibers can be: thermosetting or pseudothermoplastic.

Polyisoprene elastomers are synthetic polymers that resemble natural rubber in molecular structure as well as in properties. Synthetic polyisoprene has a lower percentage of cis-1,4 polyisoprene units. Manufacturing polyisoprene with the desired properties is a complex process: the polymerization of isoprene can lead to various repeating units. Different types of polyisoprene are 1,2 - polyisoprene, trans 1,4 polyisoprene, cis-1,4 - polyisoprene and 3,4 polyisoprene. Several different processes can be used to manufacture polyisoprene. Ziegler-Natta polymerization allows trans 1,4 polyisoprene, cis 1,4 - polyisoprene, and 3,4 - polyisoprene to be custom made. This type of polymerization is the most widely used process to produce polyisoprene having significant cis-1,4 content. Polyisoprenes, both natural (from trees) and synthetic are noted for, resistance to tear and abrasion, excellent elasticity, outstanding resilience and flex fatigue resistance. Polyisoprenes elastomers have superior tensile strength characteristics and are operable in low temperature environments. Polyisoprenes elastomers are not recommended for petroleum, ozone, high heat, sunlight, or hydrocarbon environments. Synthetic polyisoprene exceeds the natural polyisoprene type in processing, consistency of product, cure rate and purity. In addition, it is superior in extrusion, mixing, calendering and molding processes.

Silica fiber is a long thin thread made of sodium silicate. Silica fibers are the dominating material in fiber optics due to their excellent properties and characteristics. Silica fibers have superior mechanical strength against bending and pulling, provided that the fiber is not very thick and that the surfaces are well prepared. In addition, cleaving and fusion splicing of silica fibers works fairly well. The mechanical strength of silica fibers can be further improved with a suitable polymer jacket. Silica fibers can be used as reinforcements in polymer, metal and ceramic matrices. The high strength-to-weight and modulus-to-weight (i.e., stiffness-to-weight) ratios of the silica fibers allow the fabrication of composite materials that are superior in physical properties to much heavier homogeneous metal materials. In addition, silica fibers are chemically very stable as compared to other materials.

Silver amalgam is a mixture of mercury, silver, tin and copper and used for dental applications. Amalgams are generally crystalline in structure with the exception of those with high mercury content which are liquid. Some of the important characteristics of an amalgam are dimensional change, compression strength, flow and creep. The dimensional change characteristics deal with an amalgams ability to expand and contract depending on its use. The compression strength characteristic is the ability of amalgams to resist fracture which is an important prerequisite for any restorative materials. The strength of silver amalgam depends on the composition of the alloy.

It is used as a food preservative and as a mold inhibitor in products which are susceptible to spoilage and is a safe compound when used at low levels. Sodium propionate can be in the form of white crystalline solid or powder. Sodium propionate is registered as E number 281 in the Codex General Standard for Food Additives, a document published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization. The E means it is accepted by the European Union to be used for its intended applications.

Refrigeration is a process of moving heat from one location to another. Refrigeration process consists of various application including household refrigerators, industrial freezers, cryogenics, and air conditioning. Refrigeration equipments are made up of four key components: evaporator, condenser, compressor and throttle valve. All the four components unites together to complete the refrigeration process. Compressor is used to compress low-pressure refrigerant vapor to high-pressure vapor which is delivered to the condenser. In Condenser, high-pressure vapor is condensed into high-pressure liquid which is passed through the throttle valve to become low-pressure liquid. After these steps get over, low-pressure liquid is conducted to the evaporator where heat exchanging occurs which helps in the creation of ice. The refrigeration cycle is completed once the ice is formed.

Polyvinylidene fluoride, also known as polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF), is a specialty plastic material belonging to the fluoropolymer family. It is a pure thermoplastic and highly non-reactive fluoropolymer which is produced by the polymerization of vinylidene difluoride.
