| Abstract: | Plasticity - A History of Plastics in Portugal is more than an exhibition catalog: it records the
research developed during the project “The Triumph of Bakelite: Contribution to the History
of Plastics in Portugal,” coordinated by Elvira Callapez, financed by the Portuguese national
science foundation (FCT) between 2016 and 2018. The work presents an interdisciplinary
analysis and a synthesis about the theme of plastics combining different approaches. The texts
are signed by a vast team of researchers and consultants who participated in the project and
entrepreneurs of the sector. Among them are the specialists Elvira Callapez, Paulina Mata, Ana
Maria Ramos and Teresa Salomé Mota. Together the essays allow us to learn about the hitherto
untold history of plastics in Portugal, beginning with the success of Bakelite, and presenting
various manufacturing processes, evolution and industrialization of polymers throughout the
decades of the twentieth century. |
