2-10 working daysWhich Is Better, Homopolymer or Copolymer?
It depends.
Neither homopolymer nor copolymer is better than the other. It will depend on the application as to which is more desirable. Homopolymers are better suited to high-strength and high-hardness applications, whereas copolymers are suited for corrosion resistance and high operating temperatures. Although a raw homopolymer has better mechanical properties, copolymers have better mechanical properties when reinforced with glass over glass-reinforced homopolymer. This is because copolymers are better suited to adhering to fibers.
