This microscopic scale and sensitivity allows the sensor to map a high-resolution image of electrical charge that occurs over the surface of a source material (for example a human finger), when it makes contact with a thin insulating surface (ie a plastic surface).

The system uses a retractable device which is held briefly against the surface of plastic or glass packaging.
Initially, the idea was to use plastic flexible displays (as evidenced by previous XO 3.0 renders), but degradation caused by the sun's UV rays and plastic's easily scratched surface forced the company to switch gears and use glass instead.
They then oversee the manufacturing of the wood, resin and plastic game pieces and the cardboard playing surface.

Mr Marston said there were plans to have a temporary surface "using a form of plastic sheeting to help".
After drying and being treated with another solvent, the polymer settles into a regular hexagonal pattern--a kind of plastic-like screen--on the crystalline surface.
Plastic matting is to be installed over the grass surface of the Land's End runway to allow flights to resume between the Isles of Scilly.
Lederman and his team of engineers spent 25 years dissolving and welding plastic until they had a totally seamless, continuous surface that minimizes the threat of clots.
FieldTurf is looking at new materials: instead of gravel underneath the surface, it might start using recycled plastic tiles, which would be faster and cheaper to install.
The output is then relayed into a 1.4 mm thick plastic waveguide lens with input and output hologram structures on the surface which squeezes the light down the waveguide and then two dimensionally expands the image back into the user's eye, creating an image that is then mixed into the real world.

These will be much more effective at filtering contaminated water because the beads will have greater surface area for the arsenic to bind to than the plastic chips.

The researchers got some brave specimens to move a mouse cursor by implanting plastic pads containing electrodes underneath their skulls, with the sensors sitting on the surface of the brain.

As loaves are usually wrapped in plastic, any water in the bread that evaporates from within is trapped and makes the surface moist.
It is made from a blend of crushed rock, rubber and polyurethane, a synthetic plastic that replaces bitumen as the binding agent and allows even bigger pores in the road surface.
