Who was Alexander Parkes?
Alexander Parkes (1813-1890) invented the first manmade plastic, Parkesine (aka synthetic ivory), in 1856. It was a form of pyroxylin (celluloid) and did not find the economical uses that its later successors, Celluloid and Xylonite, did.
What did Alexander parks invented?
Parkes created the first manmade plastic in 1856. He publicly demonstrated it at the 1862 Great International Exhibition in London. The material called Parkesine was an organic material derived from cellulose that once heated could be molded, and retained its shape when cooled. Unfortunately, the material (also known as synthetic ivory) did not find wide application and Parkes' plant closed in 1868.
When was plastic first invented by man?
English inventor Alexander Parkes (1813-1890) created the earliest form of plastic in 1855. He mixed pyroxylin, a partially nitrated form of cellulose (cellulose is the major component of plant cell walls), with alcohol and camphor. This produced a hard but flexible transparent material, which he called "Parkesine." Parkes teamed up with a manufacturer to produce Parkesine; however, they were unable to market it. The material was so strange and new that no one knew how to use it.
How was plastic invented?
