The films link takes you to cinema 'film'. Dbroadwell 08:27, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)
You're right -- "Film" points to an unrelated definition
Also, "British" is spelled with a capital 'B', when it should be lower, I believe.

Polyvinyl butyral
There is a new article on Polyvinyl butyral (PVB). I would like to link it from here. Should it be under a "Common plastics" or "Special purpose plastics"? Thanks. --Edcolins 22:19, Aug 21, 2004 (UTC)
- It is my understanding that anything other than the commodity plastics such as PS, PP, PVC, PE, PC and ABS would be a specialty plastic. PVB is used only in a small niche market and I think its therefor safe to call it a specialty plastic. CoolMike 03:39, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Bakelite
"Thermoplastics are tough and temperature resistant." - should that be "thermoset plastics" instead? Mr2001 12:06, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Plastics Engineering
I added a link to the plastics engineering article I wrote in the 'see also' section. I'm enrolled in plastics engineering at UMass Lowell right now, but I'm still only in my 4th semester. Anybody care to help me be more specific on the definition of plastics engineering? I sorta just brainstormed up my own definition. Let me know what you think of the article please, its my first new article and I don't know if I've completed all the necesary steps to making a new article. CoolMike 20:41, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Lead section needs to be more accessible to the general reader
Quick comment: this seems to be quite a thorough article, but I struggled to understand a lot of the lead section, particularly the third paragraph. It is, of course, appropriate to get technical in articles, but I would suggest that the lead section needs to be accessible to a general reader. Here's hoping someone can fix it ;-) — Matt Crypto 22:54, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
