What is decomposition of plastic and paper bags?

Plastic does not decompose (at least not in the duration of many, many lifetimes.) Paper decomposes very slowly and depending on the type of paper may take anywhere from one to twenty years to do so. This is because plastic is made from oil which technically still means it is an organic substance however it takes millions of years and very specific conditions for oil to be formed from anything organic. Paper on the other hand comes from trees and will decompose much faster, but if you've ever seen a rotting tree stump you will know it will take it's time to do so still.


Is gold an organic material?

Researchers have developed a new memory device that uses gold nanoparticles and the organic semiconducting compound pentacene. This novel pairing is a key step forward in the drive to develop organic "plastic" memory devices, which can be considerably cheaper and more versatile than the conventional silicon-based devices used in computers, flash drives, and other applications. by Laura Simpson and charltte chaters age 15 . thankyou and i hope this can help many people.


Is plastic a condoctor?

The term plastic has a broad definition as regards materials. There are thousands of plastics. We often think of plastics as organic polymers, and we will generally find that these materials are not good conductors. Different substances added to plastics during production can change this, but we usually find that plastics do not support current flow, and, therefore, might best be considered insulators rather than conductors.
