Watch Polymerization - School Movie on Chemistry

This film is about polymerization, the basic reaction used in the manufacture of plastics. A life without plastics is no longer conceivable. The main guises of plastics are: film, foam, adhesives, paint, textile fibers and construction materials. The starting product is a clear liquid, styrene, which was discovered by Eduard Simon in 1835. The film explains a number of polymerizations.
