Step-by-step explanation:
The first man-made polymers were actually modified versions of these natural polymers. Celluloid, the stuff from which silent-movie film was made, was a plastic created from chemically modified cellulose. The first completely synthetic polymer (that is, made by people through chemical synthesis), invented in the early years of the twentieth century, was Bakelite: a plastic made by reacting phenol and formaldehyde under pressure at high temperatures.
