There are a huge number of plastics, and their properties vary widely. Listing all of them and their chemical and physical properties here is not possible. There are whole books filled with just some of the information asked for.
Use the links below to begin to discover what a range of plastic products there are, and how their chemistry and their physical properties vary Ok, answer above was JEK's and now here's mine Of course, there are lots of chemical and physical properties of plastics here are some examples for it Ability to burn is chemical property. Ability to be folded (those thick plastics) is physical property. Ability to be ripped off (for those plastic bag kind).
Flexability, permability, water proof/resistant, and electric proof/resistant will be physical properties. Chemical proof/resistant, how it reacts with acid, water, soda, and thermal stability. Of course, there are more, but I can't think of more And remember, chemical and physical PROPERTIES are ability or what it can do, and I think you already know about it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
