What plastic products are used in furniture and interiors?

1. Characteristics and uses of plastics

There are many kinds of plastics and different functions. There are plastic products everywhere in our lives. At present, the application range of plastics is still expanding, and many new plastic products have been developed and applied to the production of products. Plastics have the advantages of easy processing, low cost, variety, etc., and have a place in furniture and interior decoration, and their status is constantly improving. We should pay attention to the dynamics of plastics and apply new materials in a timely manner to design new products.

Plastic refers to a high-molecular organic material that can be flow-formed during processing by using a resin (or a monomer directly polymerized) as a main component and an additive such as a plasticizer, a filler, a lubricant, or a coloring agent as an auxiliary component. "Plastic" is an abbreviation for plastic material.

Plastics can be divided into two types: thermosetting plastics and thermoplastics. Thermosetting plastics, like eggs, are heat-hardened once and then heated without melting. The thermoplastics can be heated repeatedly, heated and melted like wax, and cooled and hardened.

2. Application and development of new plastics

2.1 nano composite plastic

Nanocomposite plastic refers to a nanocomposite formed by dispersing an inorganic filler in a nanometer size in a plastic matrix. Nanocomposite plastics with various excellent properties play an important role in the development of plastic products. At present, various household appliances use a large number of plastic parts, which are basically replaced by plastic materials, and are being developed from ordinary plastics to functional nano-plastics, while the furniture and interior decoration industries have not caught up with the pace of the home appliance industry. We need to further understand the performance and characteristics of nanocomposite plastics, and apply them in the design and production of products in the industry in a timely manner. At present, there are few research reports in this field in foreign countries, which is the focus of our attention. For example, antibacterial plastics developed using nanotechnology have good application value in the furniture and interior decoration industries.

Antibacterial plastic means that the plastic itself is antibacterial and can kill bacteria that stain on the plastic and inhibit bacterial growth for a certain period of time. This plastic is a highly effective antibacterial plastic made by adding a small amount of nano inorganic antibacterial agent to plastics using nanotechnology. At present, it is mainly used for door handles and door linings of household appliances such as refrigerators, antibacterial stainless steel cylinders for washing machines, antibacterial washing pumps, antibacterial washing machine pulsators and other plastic parts for medical electrical equipment. Considering the high cost of this material, we can apply it to the door handle, the armrest of the seat, the table top of the table, the toilet bowl and other vulnerable areas, or research and development of "wood nanocomposite plastic". In short, nano-composite plastics will have a good future in furniture and interior decoration.

2.2 flame retardant plastic

Refers to plastics with certain flame retardant properties. Flame retardant is a basic requirement in hotels, hotels, office buildings and other public interior design projects. At present, flame-retardant plastics have been made into interior doors, window covers and various decorative lines, etc., and have formed industrial production. The surface of the products can be imitation of various wood grain, and the price is cheap. However, flame retardant plastics have not been widely used in furniture and interior decoration products, indicating that the space for flame retardant plastics to develop in this field is still very large.

2.3 intelligent plastic

Intelligent plastic refers to a new type of polymer material that can sense and accept information from the external environment, such as sound, light, electricity, magnetism, pH, temperature, force, etc., and can automatically change its shape according to environmental changes. . This is a study by American and Japanese scientists a few years ago. Intelligent plastic also has three functions of sensing, control and driving. It can process information, issue commands and execute and complete actions through its own perception, thus achieving self-test, self-diagnosis, self-control, self-correction and self-modification. Features.

There are many types of intelligent plastics, and shape-memory plastic SMP (Shape-memoryplastics) is one of them. Shape memory plastic refers to a kind of polymer material which has the initial shape and is restored by the response parameters (heating, illumination, electric field, pH, etc.) and can be restored to its original shape. At present, it is mainly used in medical splints, wound dressings, covering or lining materials, fastening pins, toys, automotive easing; middle and protective covers. We can apply it to furniture and interiors, so that the shapes that were previously impossible to make using existing materials and processes can now be done with shape memory plastics, and can be used to assist in the production of more new furniture.

A smart plastic that automatically repairs cracks, uniformly mixing a special ultra-fine capsule with a special resin in a resin matrix, and then molding together. The embedded chemically-catalyzed crystallite has its own polymerization ability. Once it breaks, it activates a special resin, which causes the resin to automatically soften and become a viscous liquid. The injection and filling occur in cracks or holes and gradually solidify to achieve automatic repair. Damaged part. Smart plastics that automatically repair cracks are ideal for special parts of furniture production and interior decoration, such as table tops, cabinet doors, decorative corners and other vulnerable parts. If the production process of this plastic is further simplified, we can produce furniture that has self-healing, and no longer have to worry about the furniture that is beloved, and don’t be afraid of children’s scribbling on the surface of the furniture.

2.4 anti-noise plastic

American scientists have recently developed a hollow plastic pellet for building noise-proof materials. Houses made of this building material can be sound-proof, so that the home is free from outside interference and remains quiet. Plastic building materials consisting of many hollow plastic pellets can suppress noise. When the sound wave hits a tightly wrapped sphere, it trembles the ball and transforms it into a different frequency, eliminating noise. These balls also convert noise into energy, which makes the wall made of this plastic warm.

3, summary

In our real life, plastic furniture, plastic decorative materials and other plastic products have been used for many years, but still remain in the traditional sense. Like plastic dining tables, dining chairs, plastic file boxes, document shelves, plastic storage boxes, plastic drawers, plastic doors and windows, etc., if new functional plastics can be applied to modern furniture design and interior design, giving new functions to the product. Connotation, the future is ambitious, which requires multi-disciplinary and multidisciplinary collaborative research.

Our lives are inseparable from plastics, which in our inadvertent influence and change our lives. The exploitable potential of plastics is enormous. We need to understand plastics and use it in a timely manner to design more creative works.
