Plastics Origin and Properties

Plastics are organic polymers that can be molded or pressed into various shapes. They are made from petroleum products and range from flexible and lightweight to rigid and heat-resistant. Common plastics include polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene, nylon, and polycarbonate. Plastics are modified using various tools like saws, sanders, drills and knives to cut, shape, and finish plastic materials. The technological process for working with plastics involves planning, researching solutions, analyzing needs, generating and selecting ideas, designing, executing, and evaluating outcomes.
