IMPORTANCE OF PLASTIC:- Plastics are a subset of materials known as Polymers. These are composed of large molecules formed by joining many smaller molecules together (monomers). Other kinds of polymers are fibres‚ elastomers‚ surface coating and biopolymers‚ such as cellulose‚ proteins and nucleic acids. Plastics owe their name to their ability to be shaped to form articles of practical value by various conversion and forming processes. These are some peculiar properties of plastics materials‚ which
