It lists the group members studying plastic and provides details on the basic raw materials used to make plastic, including coal, petroleum, limestone, salt, sulfur and others. It also describes the key constituents of plastic like binders, fillers, and plasticizers which are added to improve properties. Plastics are classified as thermoplastic or thermosetting depending on whether they soften with heat and cool to a fixed shape or require heat and pressure to mold. Examples of uses for each plastic type are given. In closing, the document outlines some key properties of plastic like durability, cost-effectiveness, recyclability, and safety compared to other materials.
