Pressure shapes plastic If you want to turn a plastic into a liquid you usually have to apply heat. A material with a nanoscale mix of hard and soft plastics, however, can be made to flow at room temperature, given high-pressure. The result could be cheaper and greener recycling. mark for My Articles similar articles
