    This document discusses the history and properties of plastics. It notes that the first plastics were phenolic in 1908 and acrylic in 1931. Plastics are polymer-based materials made from monomers like ethylene and propylene that undergo polymerization to form long molecular chains. Polymerization combines monomer molecules under conditions of heat, pressure, and catalysts to form polymers. Plastics can have crystalline, amorphous, or semi-crystalline structures that determine their mechanical and optical properties.
