India. While plastic surgery has been around since ancient times‚ it has only recently become accepted by the masses. Television programs that promote plastic surgery – “I Want a Famous Face” on MTV‚ “The Swan” on Fox‚ “Extreme Makeover” on ABC‚ “Nip/ Tuck” on FX‚ and “Dr. 90210” on E – expose the public to a business once kept under wraps. Reality television embraces the topic due to its shock value – however‚ the public is becoming more and more accustomed to the idea of plastic surgery.

A plastic material is any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solids that are moldable. Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass‚ but they often contain other substances. They are usually synthetic‚ most commonly derived from petrochemicals‚ but many are partially natural.[1] A plastic material is any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solids that are moldable.

Does Bubble Gum Elasticity Affect Bubble Size? John Ruan‚ Ethan Mann‚ Karina Orozco‚ Viraja Alluri‚ and Nathan Ashta Mrs. Brazel Gregory Middle School Team 8-4 PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the elasticity of bubble gum affects the diameter of a bubble blown with the gum. HYPOTHESIS If the elasticity of the bubble gum is higher‚ then the diameter of the bubble blown will be significantly larger because the bubble will be able to stretch farther

OCEAN PLASTICS POLLUTION: A GLOBAL TRAGEDY FOR OUR OCEANS AND SEA LIFE Plastic never goes away. And it’s increasingly finding its way into our oceans and onto our beaches. In the Los Angeles area alone‚ 10 metric tons of plastic fragments — like grocery bags‚ straws and soda bottles — are carried into the Pacific Ocean every day. Today billions of pounds of plastic can be found in swirling convergences making up about 40 percent of the world’s ocean surfaces. Plastics pollution has a direct and

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

From the time we hit our plastic alarm clock in the morning until the time we squeeze tooth paste out of its plastic sleeve onto our plastic tooth brush when we go to bed‚ we are surrounded by plastic. Our food is packaged in it‚ our children play with toys made from it‚ we talk on plastic cell phones‚ and we sit on chairs of plastic at work writing with plastic pens‚ drinking from plastic water bottles. Plastic is everywhere. Where does all this plastic end up? It does not just disappear when we
