Lesson Essential Question: What are plastics?
Raw Materials in Plastic Resins
Coal Air Water Petroleum Natural Gas Limestone
Production of Plastic Resins
Chemists are responsible for producing synthetic resins
Plastic is a forced combination of molecules
Monomer - a simple molecule of synthetic resin.
Polymer – a combination of monomers to form a long chain molecule.

Production of Plastic Resins
Polymerization - process of making plastic, linking of monomers to form polymers.
Homopolymerization – combining of like monomers into polymers.
Copolymerization – combining two or more different monomer units
Autoclave - a piece of equipment that applies heat and pressure to combine monomers to form polymers.

Types of Plastics Thermoplastic – plastic which can
be reprocessed or reused. Thermosetting plastic– cannot be
reused/reformed once heated. Definition of plastics – a synthetic
