Thanks for joining us here at the movies. But this isn't just any movie theater. We have big plans at the Macroplex Cinema 10. Here you will be able to learn what polymers go into film and film making. We even plan a section on the use of polymers in special effects. We'll even show you what special effects can be made with stuff at home.
And what about the polymers that are literally AT the movies. We'd like to show you where polymers can be found at the theater. Just check out this neat carpet we have in our lobby. Look, right down there under all this stuff you're reading. That's made of polymers too. And how about the polymers that are in that butter on your favorite popcorn or that sticky stuff on the theater floor...? Just kidding. |
