Material which can be easily moulded into any desired shape on heating is called a ‘plastic’. Plastics are synthetic (man – made) polymers. Plastics form an important class of synthetic materials. In plastics, the arrangement of the individual units may be linear or cross-linked.
Petroleum product such as ethane, propane, benzene, toluene etc. are the raw materials for the plastics. These materials are either directly polymerized or first converted into suitable monomers chemically and then polymerized to form plastics.
