English Introduction: One common application of polymer materials in daily life is polyethylene terephthalate, or PET for short, used extensively in making plastic bottles for beverages. PET is chosen for this application because it has excellent clarity, lightweight properties, and strong resistance to impact, making it ideal for containing liquids. It's also recyclable, which contributes positively to environmental sustainability efforts.
Application Description: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a type of polymer material widely recognized for its strength and versatility. In everyday life, PET is perhaps most familiar as the material for plastic water bottles. These bottles are lightweight, making them easy to carry, and they are strong enough to hold liquids without leaking, even when squeezed. Additionally, PET can be easily molded into various shapes and sizes, which is why it's a popular choice for a variety of containers. When consumers are finished with their drinks, these bottles can often be recycled into new products, demonstrating PET's role in the circular economy.
