4. •Greetings to all! Welcome to
this PowerPoint Presentation
on Evolution of Plastics by J.
Josiah Simkin. In this
presentation we will have a
look at what plastic is, how it
evolved over time, key people
who helped in the development
of plastic and many more
wonderful topics. Let’s dive
deep into the wonderful and
woeful world of plastic!

7. Definition of Plastic
Plasticsare a wide range
ofsyntheticor semi-synthetic
materials that usepolymersas a
main ingredient.
Theirplasticitymakes it possible
for plastics to
bemoulded,extrudedorpressed
into solid objects of various
shapes. This adaptability, plus a
wide
range of other properties, such as
being lightweight, durable,
flexible, and inexpensive to
produce, has led to its widespread
use.

8. Types of Plastic
Thermoplastics
•Plastics that can be deformed
easily upon heating and can be
bent easily. Linear polymers
and a combination of linear
and cross-linked polymers
come under thermoplastics.
•Example: PVC, nylon,
polythene, etc.
Thermosetting Plastics
•Plastics that cannot be
softened again by heating once
they are moulded. Heavily
cross-linked polymers come
under the category
ofthermosetting plastics.
•Example: Bakelite, melamine,
etc.

9. Properties of
Plastic
•Strong and ductile.
•Poor conductors of heat
and electricity.
•Easily moulded into
different shapes and
size.
•Resist corrosion and are
resistant to many
chemicals.

10. Uses of Plastic
•Aerospace
•Construction
•Electrical and Electronic Applications
•Packaging
•Automotive
•Energy Generation
•Furniture
•Marine
•Medical and Healthcare
•Military

11. PLASTICS: EVERYDAY LIFE
Sector 2

12. Life before the
invention of Plastics
•Bulk buying of fresh and dry foods once
a month.
•Using newspapers, glass bottles and
jars, brown paper and cloth bags to
store goods.
•Buying good quality wood or glass
storage utensils for use and refill.
•Using old paper as fuel for various
purposes.
•Handling things carefully in order to not
to repurchase goods
Before 1950, there was no
plastic pollution in the world.
Because there was no plastic in
the world. People found it not
very difficult to cope up before
disposables came into
existence. This was how people
used to live before plastics were
invented, in the late 1950s.
