EEES Presentation │Topic- Plastic Pollution & Management│ CS-1 | Ankit Mishra | Arun Choudhary
Introduction
The word plastic is derived from the Greek (plastikos) meaning capable of being shaped or molded.
Plastics are a range of synthetic or semi-synthetic polymerization products that can be molded into a permanent object having the property of plasticity.
Properties of Plastics
Resistant
Durable
Insulator
Inexpensive
Easy to produce About 100 million tones of plastic is produced each year.

2000 atm atm Polythene (LDPE)
([-CH22-CH22-]nn)
Composition
Most plastics contain organic polymers. The vast majority of these polymers are based on chains of carbon atoms alone or with oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen as well.
Most plastics contain Additives (0 to 50%). The average content of additives is 20% by weight of the polymer.
Fillers are used to improve performance and to reduce costs.
Stabilizers like fire retardants are used to lower the flammability of the material.

Composition
Plastics that are made up of polymers having only aliphatic (linear) C atoms in their backbone chains. Ex
-polypropylene
polypropylene
Plastics that are made up of heterochain polymers contain O, N, S in their backbone chains, in addition to C. Ex - polycarbonate polycarbonate Plastic behaviour of polymers is influenced by their morphology (arrangement of molecules ). They’re either amorphous or crystalline. Most thermosets are amorphous, while thermoplastics may
