 Leo
Hendrik Baekeland was searching for
an insulating shellac to coat wires in electric
motors and generators when he discovered a
completely synthetic polymer resin, which he
called Bakelite. The first true plastic, Bakelite
was molded into thousands of forms, including
radio cases, furniture elements, jewelry,
buttons, and billiard balls. |
 Whiskey
(Whisky) is an
alcoholic beverage distilled from grain and malt.
It is distinguished from other distilled
alcoholic beverages by being aged in wood barrels
a minimum of two years and by not being flavored
by anything other than the grains used to produce
it and the wood in which it is aged |
 The Chemistry
of Glass Much to the surprise of most people,
glass is actually more of a fluid than it is a
solid. In fact, if you could view a long-term
ultra-high-speed motion picture of a pane of
window glass you would see the glass actually
slowly flowing to the bottom of the pane. |
