ABS, with the full name Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, is a ternary copolymer composed of acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B), and styrene (S). It combines the properties of all three components: acrylonitrile contributes high hardness, strength, heat resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance; butadiene provides impact resistance and toughness; while styrene offers high surface gloss, ease of coloring, and good processability. This combination makes ABS plastic a versatile thermoplastic material known for being "robust, tough, and highly rigid."
