The Future of Plastics

Ever since the invention of Plastics by Alexander Parkes in 1856, Plastics have evolved itself with new
technology that could serve on for every household or industrial use. Plastics today are very much part
of our mundane life that supports in fulfilling our needs. It is a historic invention made up of either a
synthetic or semi-synthetic solid that can be molded or twisted. Plastic belongs to class of organic
polymers of higher molecular mass, but they may contain other substances too. The future of plastics
is dependent on the Technological Advancement that’s about to be unveiled soon.
Biodegradable Plastic: This type of plastics will find out the solutions for ever answered questions for
being non-biodegradability and non-renewable sourced out of oil. Modern Technology has found out
the solution by using enzymes and catalysts in order to change into renewable sources such as biogas
used for manufacturing plastics along with synthetic rubbers.
These Biodegradable plastics are highly sustainable because of less dependency on fossil fuels.
Composites in Plastics: Plastic composites augmented by various fibers, like carbon components, to
make them durable, lighter and more flexible. Such fiber augmented plastics are commonly used in
Aircraft Manufacturing, from modern fighter jets like F/A-22 Raptor to giant jetliners of Boeing 787 or
Airbus A380 which are made up of at least 50% composite materials. Composite Plastics have a
capability to hide a fighter plane from an enemy radar system. Composite Plastics are expensive to
own, that’s the reason for major construction companies and car manufacturers to pulling out their
plans to produce cars or materials made up of these types of plastics.
Nano-composites in Plastics: These types of plastics are the refinement of Composite Plastics. They
are augmented with tiny particles of substances containing Graphene, light weighted and powerful.

2. Plastics in Electronics will redefine the future.
Nano-Composites are best in practice for the process healing internal bones by creating internal body
scaffolds. These types of plastics may find potential users in Medical field.
Nano-Composites in Plastics are still in nascent stage, the invention has proven to revolutionize the
future.
Self Mending Polymers: Plastics, likewise humans and other naturalized materials in age tend to fail.
But, Technology is able to find a solution in terms of Self Mending Polymers. These polymers are
biologically self curable by forming a gel that scaffold over the damaged area and seal them with
another polymer, by restoring most of the material’s strength.
Plastics in Electronics and for Adulteration: Till today most of the polymers were carried over with highly
insulating properties, they aren’t conductive to electricity. In latest innovation of Polyacetylene found
out that its ability to conduct electricity when impurities are induced through a process known to be
Adulteration.
Conductive nature of polymers opened the doors for new innovations in the world of Electronics, like
flexible computer screen sets, Conductive inks and coating which helps in drying out heat or Ultraviolet
radiation. It also showed a possibility to produce flexible circuit systems for membrane touch switches,
keyboards, automotive sensors and touch screens etc.
Smart Polymers: Smart means something which works on its own, similarly a Polymer which are
designed to work on its own are known to be Smart Polymers. Their usage varies from usage like
sensors, drug delivery services & many other applications.
Plastics are changing their capabilities with the latest innovations, which causes zero pollution to
environment, re-usability feature and self sustainability with smart features. The revolution of Plastics is
merely endless.
