  3. Microwave oven - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven

    The microwaves induce electric currents in the metal film, which heats up, melting the plastic in the disc and leaving a visible pattern of concentric and radial scars. Similarly, porcelain with thin metal films can also be destroyed or damaged by microwaving. Aluminium foil is thick enough to be used in microwave ovens as a shield against ...

    Thermosets do not melt when heated, but typically decompose and do not reform upon cooling. Stress-strain graph of a thermoplastic material. Above its glass transition temperature and below its melting point, the physical properties of a thermoplastic change drastically without an associated phase change.

  8. Polymethylpentene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymethylpentene

    Because of its high melting point and good temperature stability, polymethylpentene is used for autoclavable medical and laboratory equipment, microwave components, and cookware. It is also often used in electrical components e.g. LED molds because it is an excellent electrical insulator.

  9. Polysulfone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysulfone

    Polysulfone has one of the highest service temperatures among all melt-processable thermoplastics. Its resistance to high temperatures gives it a role of a flame retardant , without compromising its strength that usually results from addition of flame retardants.
