Greetings Netlanders!

   I am currently doing a chemistry research
project on plastics.  Essentially, I would 
like to make plastic compounds in a laboratory.
However, I have only been able to find the recipe
for one plastic - Lucite.  Can anyone provide some
references where I can find recipes for plastics
that can be made relatively simply in the lab?

   I have access to a scanning electron microscope
and a spectrophotometer and I would like to relate
observable characteristics to the chemical 
structures of these plastics.  Any tips and hints
for gaining the maximum benefit out of these machines     
will be gratefully received.

   Finally, I would truly appreciate receiving any
information about references regarding plastics
and their characteristics (ie biodegradability,
flexibility, strength, etc)

   Thank you very much in advance.
