How dou you make plastic?

Well plastic is a polymer.  A polymer is a big huge molecule that is made up of repeats of smaller molecules linked together.  You can think of it like a train.  The polymer is the whole train and each of the smaller units is a car in the train.  To make plastic, you perform the chemical reactions that link the train cars together.  Then you perform some process to shape the plastic into the object you want.  Usually that process involves hot plastic that you just made and a mold that you put the hot plastic into.  There are many different types of plastic and the differences between them are which train cars are used in the train and how they are linked together.

You might be able to make some kind of cast and use that as a mold.  Or, if you're skilled enough, you can simply get a block of clay and cut it.  Another option is that you can make some kind of frame and cover it with clay.  Whatever you do, DON'T MAKE IT OUT OF FOOD.

take plastic, turn in into a ball.... its not rocket science man!

The type of plastic selected has a great influence on the performance of the plated plastic part. ABS plastics are the base materials in most cases.\n\nCheck out the following:

analize an existing polymer with as many properties of the ones you are looking for, determine the formula ( possibly use a mass spectrometer for the recipe,)  experiment with the atomic structure of the elements in the formula. wouldn't it be great if you could manipulate the structure at subatomic level, i.e. at levels below protons and neutrons like quarks.\ntry changing the formula ( recipe?) at its basic level, with different proportions of at least carbon and hydrogen, possibly adding 'alloying' elements into the atomic structure.

melt the wax ,, pour into a square mold... when set.. cut to desired size with electric knife..

u can  take rod shaped plastic pipe of different sizes & pingpong balls at sides. cover them with clay to give them shape of a bone, then use  thin elastic rubber ( which are used in rubber band, thin white in color) use many of them  as muscle fibre by attaching them to bone

just make it out of clay or soap. You can carve it out of soap with a knife.

some ideas of what you could make the model from:\n\nstyrofoam\nclay with rocks\nlegos\npaper mache (shape your wall then take strips of newspapers dipped in glue and water mix and cover it..you can paint it when it dries)\nyou could use small boxes or cut up cereal boxes..and then paint them. \n\nor you could get really wacky and make it out of those little take out containers...or noodles..and shellac them. use your imagination!\n\nyou could even make a really tiny model and then build a model of a rocket that is larger..to show that it can be seen from space!

1. Get old newspaper.\n2. Soak it. Completely saturate it with water.\n3. Stick it in a blender. Add some ink or even food coloring. Turn it into a pulp.\n4. Try to find some fine mesh. Chicken wire works, if it's fairly closely spaced. Pour the concoction over it. Put paper towels and a book on top to press it.\n5. Dry overnight. Be careful when you peel it off.\n\nOld blue jeans also work (arguably better), but they'll kill your blender.

It really depends on what type of plastic it is.  Some plastics are made to be melted and reused (recyclable plastic), but other plastics are not made to be melted and reused.  These plastics would probably catch on fire before they melted.  What exactly are you trying to do?

I heard somewhere, container of fertilizer, then place metal container on top, inside metal container, water I also heard it takes a little time.  btw, plastic container will not work

flour , water, salt, and pepper, cut to shape and bake.\ngingerbread cookies cut to shape make good ones also, or you can find inexpensive ornaments a the thrift stores.

Wash and rinse with detergent, then rinse with antiseptic.\nAutoclave will melt ur plastic bottle coz steam temperatures are way higher than the melting point of ur plastic bottle.

Its better to get a design engineering guide from one of the plastic raw material suppliers as modifying the melt flow index would change many other properties also. A manufacturer rather than a distributor would probably provide you the information more readily.
