The Birth of Thermoplastic Films During the 1940s
Source abstract
Abstract
A historical review of thermoplastic film and sheeting during the 1930s and 1940s describes the early stages of development of several current products as well as some aspects of the early development of fabrication processes for this phase of the plastics industry. It concludes that the decade of the 1940s should be considered as the time of birth of thermoplastic film and sheeting.
