Engineering plastic is a kind of synthetic resin,this kind of plastic requires both to maintain the common properties of plastic materials,but also need to have good mechanical strength,can withstand a certain external force,but also have high temperature resistance,low temperature resistance,the prepared finished product dimensional stability is better,and finally can be used as a plastic engineering structure.With the development of technology and the expansion of applications,engineering plastics have also developed into one of the indispensable materials in the world today.In this paper,the characteristics and types of engineering plastics and common engineering plastics are summarized.
