Science of Plastics. Definition. Plastics are a group of materials, either synthetic or naturally occurring, that may be shaped when soft and then hardened to retain the given shape. Plastics are polymers. A polymer is a substance made of many repeating units.this is known as plastic

Dear friend,
Plastic is a polymer. It is nonbiodegradable which cannot be decomposed by micro organisms. It is light, Strong and durable plastic is non reactive it will not react with water and air.

There are two types of plastics
a. Thermoplatics
b. Thermosetting plastics
a. Thermoplastics are plastics which can be deformed on heating eg polythene and pvc
b. Thermosetting plastics are which when moulded once, cannot be changed into another shape on heating eg bakelite, melamine

I hope that you understand this answer
With regards
Meghana

plastic are synthetic material that can be mould into a permanent shape 
two types of plastic are as follows
(1) thermoplasts => thermoplasts retain their even after repeated heating and cooling.so they can be mould over again and again.
(2) thermosetting plastics => thermosetting are, once set after being melted cannot be mould again.

A material is said to be plastic if it can be moulded or formed into different shapes. Thus, dough and plasticine are plastics, so is clay and heated glass. However, the word plastic is now commonly used for several human made materials that can be moulded into desired shapes or drawn into fibres. All these materials have one common property - they are made up of polymers. Scientists have created an enormous range of human made plastics with different properties. The main source of this plastics is crude oil. Plastics can be classified into two groups depending on their reaction to heat - thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics. In thermoplastics, the process of softening by heating and hardening on cooling can be repeated again and again to soften the plastic to get different shapes. However, thermosetting plastics can be softened by heating only once. Once they are put into a mould and allowed to harden on cooling, they cannot be softened again on heating, e.g. bakelite and melamine. They can maintain their shape and size even at very high temperatures. Plastics are used everywhere to make a huge variety of things.

Plastics is the term commonly used to describe a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that are used in a huge and growing range of applications. ... Plastics are organic materials, just like wood, paper or wool.
