Question

Plastic is a common name for polymers: materials made of long strings of carbon and

other elements. Each unit in a string is called a monomer, and is a chemical usually

derived from oil. There are many different types of plastic, depending on the starting

monomer selected, the length of polymer chains, and the type of modifying

compounds added. Each plastic has been developed for a special purpose. The first

man-made plastic was created by Alexander Parkes who publicly demonstrated it at

the 1862 Great International Exhibition in London.
