Polymers are everywhere! 8. Tons O’s Toys Marilyn is showing us a toy flying squirrel, and its made out of polyisoprene rubber and polyurethane foam. Nurture your inner child, come inside our toy store, and youll see that this squirrel is just one of the many toys made out of polymers. Look at this! Theres a zebra, a rhino, a tree frog, a brachiosaurus... All these critters are rendered here for us in, once again, polyisoprene. Keeping with the animal theme, these puppets are stuffed with polyurethane foam. On the outside their fur, be they mammals, is made of things like polyacrylonitrile and their scales, be they fish, are made of nylon. Like to play with robots? This little robot is made of polystyrene. The wires have insulation made out of things like polyethylene and polysioprene. Inside there are circuit boards, which are often made from epoxy resins. If the other kids are all having fun and they didnt invite you, you can spy on them while theyre having a good time on the other side of the fence with this oh-so discreet periscope. Its made out of polyethylene. No one is really sure what the name of this doodad is, but aint it nifty? Its a polyethylene tube filled with polystyrene beads. When you push the yellow sleeve up and down the tube, it generates static electricity that makes the beads stick to the inside of the tube. Neato, huh? Remember this? Its that neato pinwheel whose rotation was so fascinating when you were three. Its vanes are made out of a composite material, that is a material made of more than one component. The vanes are made out of a sheet of aluminum foil stuck to a sheet of polyester. Its also used to make those nifty balloons you get when youre sick that say Get well or else and such on them. This is a toy popular among children and inner children alike. Wed get in trouble if we told you its name, because its a trademark, so were going to call it a land anemone and let it go at that.
