«The plastic age»

 

It's in our homes. It's the most common material in the workplace

Sometimes it's even in our bodies. We may be moving into the Information Age , but it's hard to believe that we are not living in the Plastic Age .

The very name “plastic” means versatility .You can bend it, mold it, model it, twist it and ply it in a number of different ways .The finished product can be a soft and airy foam or a hard and strong compound rivaling the sturdiest metal alloys .In its many forms ,plastic has forever

changed the way we live.

The first in the long line of man -made plastic was called Bakelite ,after its inventor ,Leo Baekeland .Many years of work in his chemistry

lab in Yonkers ,New York , led him in 1907 to the invention of the first synthetic polymer ( plastic) , made by linking small molecules together to make large ones.

Baekeland made his material by mixing the carbolic acid (phenol) with the strong – smelled formaldehyde to make a third material that was nothing like the original two .It turned out to be a substance that would change the world.

Some of the early uses for plastic were to make thing like radio cabinets ,button ,billiard balls, pipe-steam, toilet steam, airplane parts and the object of Baekeland's research ,shelleac. Baekeland's trick was to take the resin produced by the two chemicals and heat it under pressure to produce a soft solid that could be molted and hardened or powered and set under pressure. With this innovation , the plastic revolution was under way.
