How to Pick a Plastic : An Adventure in Polymer Science

Flying cats. Crappy apartments. Dinosaurs. And a real introduction to polymer science.

What's polymer science and why would you want to learn about it? Polymers (plastics) make up a lot of things we use every day: shampoo bottles, spatulas, even chairs! But have you ever wondered what plastics really are?

You probably never learned anything about this aspect of the world around you in school. That's because materials science is usually relegated to dry, boring textbooks for engineering schools. But not anymore!

This graphic novel will entertain you with its fun characters, dry jokes and interesting artwork. AND it will open your eyes to seeing physical objects around you in a whole new way!
