Plastic Goggles

Caption

Scientists have developed a faster chemical process for making a class of sulfur-containing plastics. The technique could make these plastics more competitive with polycarbonates, which are strong plastics used to make safety goggles like the ones shown here, among other products. Chemical diagrams relevant to the new technique are displayed in the background.
