There is more information available on this subject at Polycarbonate on the English Wikipedia. |
Polycarbonates are a particular group of thermoplastic polymers. They are easily worked, moulded, and thermoformed; as such, these plastics are very widely used in the modern chemical industry. Their interesting features (temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties) position them between commodity plastics and engineering plastics.
The M12 Warthog LRV uses polycarbonate as a ballistic armor, built upon a titanium frame.[1]
