When was thermosetting plastic invented?
The first thermosetting polymers, trademarked “Bakelite”, was invented in 1909 by Leo Hendrik Baekeland. Its ability to hold its shape under high heat made it extremely popular as a material for handles on cookware, electrical equipment, and was even used widely for weapon manufacturing later on in WWII.
Where do thermoplastics come from?
Thermoplastics are synthesized from plants in large amounts and transformed through chemical processing. Some of the most important thermoplastics are polyethylene [low density polyethylene (LDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE)], polypropylene (PP), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and polystyrene [44].
