The difference between plastics and elastomers is actually quite simple. Plastics are made from oil and elastomers are made from synthetic material.

What is the difference between an elastomer and plastics?
There isn't too much of a difference between elastomers and plastics. The only real difference between them is how far you can stretch them. Other than that they are really similar.
How do you test for brittleness?
Reference ASTM D746 - 07. This applies to Brittleness testing of elastomers and plastics.
What is the difference between thermosetting plastics and thermoforming?

What is the difference between welding of metals and plastics?
because of the difference in physical characteristics of thermoplastics and metals, there are corresponding differences between welding techniques for metals and thermo-plastics. in the welding of metal, welding rod and parent material become molten and fuse into the required bond to form welded joints. this is not in thermo plastics, because they are poor heat conductors , they are difficult to heat uniformly .. so diifferent methods are used to weld plastics...
Advantages and disadvantages of plastics?
Plastics are cheap and can be molded into many things. One drawback to using plastics is they harm the environment.

What are the differences between polymers and plastics?
All Plastics are the polymers but all the polymers are not the Plastics, why because there will be biodegradable polymers, biopolymer, rubber exist, which will be not in the plastic group

What is the difference between thermo plastics and set plastics?
thermo can be heated and manipulated unlited timed, but set can only be heated and manipulated once
What is the difference between elastomer and fiber?
The major difference difference arises on the basis of the forces... In Elastomers, the polymer chains are held together by weakest intermolecular forces while in fibers, the intermolecular forces are strong like hydrogen bonding.
What is the difference between a drill bit for plastics and one for wood?
There is no difference, I drill both frequently with the same drill bits.
