noun
- plural of plasticization; the process or result of making a material plastic or more flexible by adding plasticizers or applying heat and pressure
Usage: technical; chemistry/materials science
Examples
- The plasticizations of various polymers were studied to improve their durability.
- Different plasticizations methods produce varying degrees of flexibility in the final product.
- Industrial plasticizations of PVC require careful control of temperature and additive concentration.
- The research compared plasticizations achieved through chemical additives versus thermal treatment.
- Successful plasticizations enable manufacturers to create more workable materials for molding.
