Plastics are materials which are softened by heat and set into lasting form
when shaped in a mold. Some are natural; some are semi-synthetic(半合成的) , the
result of chemical action on natural substance; some are synthetic, built up
from the constituents of oil or coal. All are based on the chemistry of carbon,
with its capacity for forming chains. The molecules that compose them (monomers)
link together in the setting or curing(硫化) process to form chains (polymers) ,
which give plastics their flexible strength. Some plastics retain their ability
to be softened and reshaped; like wax, they are thermoplastic. Others set
permanently in the shapes they are given by heat and pressure; like eggs, they
are thermosetting.
From industrial beginnings in the nineteenth century, plastics have
struggled through a hundred and twenty years of glory, failure, disrepute and
suspicion on the slow road to public acceptance. Now, at last, one can
positively say that plastics are appreciated and enjoyed for what they are; that
they make modern life richer, more comfortable and convenient, and also more
fun. Plastics are warm materials, sympathetic to the human touch, and their
transformation into things that come into contact with human beings is entirely
appropriate.
The fact that there are plastic antiques comes as a shock to most people.
How can a material that seems so essentially twentieth century, and one that is
so much associated with cheap, disposable products, has a history at all? It is
a young technology, and a great part of the fun of collecting plastics is that
beautiful pieces of historical interest can still be found very cheaply.
