Faʻataʻitaʻiga Seti o Palasitika

Palasitika o se polymer tuʻufaʻatasia (macromolecules) e polymerized e faʻaopopo polymerization poʻo polycondensation tali atu ma monomers o mata mea. O lona anti-deformation agavaʻa e feololo. E i le va o le fiber ma le paʻu. E aofia ai resin gaosia ma faʻatumu, palasitika, ma faʻamautuina. E aofia ai mea faʻaopopo e pei o sooupu, lubricants, ma pigment.
Ole vaega autu ole palasitika ole resin. Resin e faʻasino i le polymer compound e leʻi faʻafefiloi ma faʻaopopoga eseese. O le upu resin na uluaʻi faʻaigoaina mo lipid na faʻalilolilo e laʻau ma manu, pei o le rosin ma le shellac. O le resin e tusa ma le 40% i le 100% o le aofaʻi o le mamafa o le palasitika. O le autu meatotino o uga e masani fuafuaina e le natura o le resin, ae faʻaopopo faʻaopoopoina faia foi se taua vaega. Nisi palasitika e masani lava aofia ai resins gaosia, ma leai pe laʻititi mea faʻaopopo, pei o plexiglass, polystyrene, ma isi.
