    Plastic is a group of synthetic or natural organic materials that may be shaped when soft and then hardened. Used in place of other materials, as glass, wood, and metals. Petroleum - Source of most plastics Thermoplastics - material is hardened with heat, pressure, or chemical reaction. The material can not be resoftened.

    Its Only Plastic

    Introduction to Plastics

    Outline
    What is plastic? Where do they come from? Types of plastic

    What is Plastic?

    What is Plastic?
    Plastic is a polymer
    Poly Greek for many Meros Greek for part Polymer = many parts

    Made of monomers
    Greek = one part

    Linear chain of molecules

    What is Plastic?
    Homopolymer
    Made up of one type of monomer (polycarbonate for example)

    Copolymer
    Made up of more than one type of monomer (ABS for example)

    Where Does Plastic Come From?


    Coal
    Can be used to make polyethylene and polystyrene

    Petroleum
    Source of most plastics

    Natural
    Corn, trees, soybeans, etc.

    Where Does Plastic Come From?


    Starting material is reacted to form monomer Monomer is reacted to form polymer (plastic) Addition polymerization
    The monomer comes from one molecule (polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene)

    Condensation polymerization
    Monomer is made from more than one molecule and a by-product is given off (polyester, polycarbonate)

    Making Plastic
    Addition Type

    Ethylene

    Polyethylene

    Making Plastic
    Condensation Type

    Terephthalic Acid

    Ethylene Glycol

    PET

    Types of Plastic
    Thermoplastics
    Material can be softened by heat and then formed into an article. The material can be repeatedly softened and formed.

    Thermoset plastics
    Material is hardened with heat, pressure, or chemical reaction. The material can not be resoftened.
