Tomorrow's Plastic World
Macdonald, Averil
Physics Education, v40 n5 p446-449 Sep 2005
Far from being just cheap packaging materials, plastics may be the materials of tomorrow. Plastic can conduct electricity, and this opens up a host of high-tech possibilities in the home and in energy generation. These possibilities are discussed here along with how plastic can be recycled and perhaps even grown.
