Nerdy journey: Forever materials
Welcome to another nerdy journey in the world of plastics. This time, we will talk about a fantastic polymer, which turns out not to be so great after all. Because, well, it can last forever, and sometimes that’s not a good thing. There’s still hope for better materials, but they might differ from what many of us think they should be. Nonetheless, finding a solution is important because Earth is amazing (we rated it 9 out of 10!), and it’s definitely worth saving with better materials!
Hosts of the show: Dr. Olliver Gould & Barnabas Horvath from Made of Air
