Alexander Parkes was the inventor of Plastics Born: 29 December 1813, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
Died: 29 June 1890, West Dulwich, nr London, England
**"As a young man, Parkes was apprenticed to a brass founders. He later joined Elkington, Mason & Co. as manager of a casting department. His interest in the newly formed rubber industry in the 1840s and 1850s led to the invention of a new material which he called Parkesine. Parkesine was based on cellulose nitrate and is generally accepted as the first plastic.
Parkes introduced his new material to great public interest at the 1862 Great International Exhibition in London and was awarded a prize medal. He established The Parkesine Company at Hackney Wick in London with the aim of marketing Parkesine but the enterprise was not commercially successful. This was partly because the material proved to be highly flammable and partly because Parkes compromised the quality of his goods in an effort to keep the price down. The company was liquidated in 1868.
An energetic man and prolific inventor, Parkes took out more than 80 patents during his life, most of which related to Metallurgy; he also fathered 20 children."

The first human-made plastic was invented by Alexander Parkes in 1855.

The first man-made plastic was created by Alexander Parkes
The man that found plastic was Benjamin Fransland. He was born 1909 and created plastic with his bare hands with dirt and part of his dick.
who invented conductors
Plastic does not conduct electricity.
Then an 'electrical current' is said to be present in the conductor.
The largest conductor listed in the National Electrical Code is a 2000 kcmil.
There isn't a specific standard length for the unprotected length of a tap conductor in relation to the current carrying capacity of a main conductor. The length of the tap conductor is typically determined by factors such as voltage drop and local electrical codes. It is recommended to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or an electrical professional for specific guidance on tap conductor lengths.
The first electrical air conditioner was invented by Willis Haviland Carrier in 1902.
The voltage source is the source of the electricity. The conductor is what the electricity flows through to reach its destination. Example: A battery is a voltage source and an electrical wire is the conductor.
It is a conductor.
An anodized film is usually an insulator. The anodization process creates a layer of oxide on the surface of a metal, which acts as a barrier against electrical conduction.
yes it is. search it on google "chlorine electrical conductor" yes it is. search it on google "chlorine electrical conductor"
An electrical conductor is a material which lets electricity pass through it.
At a high enough voltage, everything is an electrical conductor. Pure water is an exceptionally bad electrical conductor, though.
No. Its a poor conductor.
Yes, because it is metal it is. :)

It is supposed that francium is a better electrical conductor.
No charcoal is not an electrical conductor
Yes, graphite is an electrical conductor.
The lightening conductor was invented by Benjamin Franklin.
