	Plastic Surgery
		By definition, "plastic surgery" is any surgical procedure that deals with the reconstruction or improvement of a body part to enhance the shape and appearance of that part of the body.
		Plastic surgery was especially gaining popularity during the 18th century, as Europeans were becoming particularly interested in reconstructive nose plastic surgery to improve the nose's appearance that had been impacted by disease or combat.
		Plastic surgery as a medical specialty was born out of the horrors of World War I and the tremendous toll taken on mankind.

	Plastic explosive - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Plastic explosives are especially suited for explosive demolition as they can be easily formed into the best shapes for cutting structural members, and have a high enough velocity of detonation and density for metal cutting work.
		One of the earliest plastic explosives was Nobel 808, developed well before World War II and used extensively by British SOE forces during that war.
		Plastic explosive is commonly used by engineers and combat engineers.

		The first true plastic explosives emerged post-war, initially called polymer bonded explosives (PBXs), the explosive crystals were embedded in a polymer matrix such as polystyrene or nylon.
		The key to a useful explosive was found in the 1960s with the mixing of RDX with PETN and then adding binders and stabilizers, the resultant material was safer and easier to handle than traditional explosives and also held a greater charge per volume.
		Current binders are a range of oils, waxes and plasticizers such as polyisobutylene and di(2-ethylhexyl)sebacate the binder and plasticizer respectively in C-4.

	C-4 (explosive) at AllExperts
		C-4 is made up of explosive, plastic binder, plasticizer and, nowadays, marker or taggant chemicals such as 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (DMDNB) to help detect the explosive and identify its source.
		As with many plastic explosives, the explosive material in C-4 is RDX (also known as cyclonite or cyclotrimethylene trinitramine) which makes up around 91% of the C-4 by weight.
		The plasticizer is di(2-ethylhexyl) or dioctyl sebacate (5.3%), and the binder is polyisobutylene (2.1%).

	Explosive material missing in Logan training mishap - The Boston Globe
		In a routine training exercise, State Police hid 8 ounces of plastic explosive on the rear bumper of a Massport pickup to test bomb-sniffing dogs and handlers at Logan International Airport.
		Yesterday, State Police launched an internal investigation, continued searching for the plastic explosive in a nonresidential area, and tried to reassure the public that the material poses no danger without a detonator.
		The explosive had not been found by last night, and police were concentrating on a Massport street sweeper that swept the pickup's route shortly after the explosive was discovered missing.

	C-4
		The basic idea of plastic explosives, also called plastic bonded explosives (PBX), is to combine explosive chemicals with a plastic binder material.
		This is the standard-issue plastic explosive used by the U.S. military.
		The RDX should have separated from the plastic, which is soluble in gasoline, to form a white powder at the bottom of the container.

	Explosives
		The tetrytol explosive is relatively insensitive to water (becoming useless only after 24 hours of direct exposure to water), making it quite useful to UDT, naval special operations, and marine forces, but it is otherwise very unstable and must be protected against heat, flame, and severe drops.
		The M-2A3 shaped charge is 50/50 pentolite explosive, which can be set off by small arms fire; the M-2A4 is based on Composition B plastic explosive and is not sensitive to small arms hits, though it does have a very small (50-gram) pentolite booster.
		The Mod 0 version is a 2.5-pound (1.13-kilogram) block of C3 plastic explosive in a rectangular cotton duck bag, with a 9-foot (2.74-meter) length of primercord for detonating and as a booster charge.

	Plastic explosives (Gerald L. Hurst; Arno Hahma; Bruce Hamilton)
		PETN and RDX are so similar in their explosive properties that it would be foolish to mix the two and thereby double the risk of some chemical incompatibility unique to one or the other.
		Properly formulated plastic explosives such as C-4 contain as high a percentage of RDX as can be crammed in without losing the limited coherency of the material, which is a stiff, claylike mass.
		Despite the high explosives content of C-4, it is difficult to initiate the material with a #6 blasting cap and failures also sometimes occur with commercial #8 caps when they are not properly positioned in the charge.

	plastic - Definitions from Dictionary.com
		Plastics are easily shaped because they consist of long-chain molecules known as polymers, which do not break apart when flexed.
		Plastics are usually artificial resins but can also be natural substances, as in certain cellular derivatives and shellac.
		Plastics can be pressed into thin layers, formed into objects, or drawn into fibers for use in textiles.

		High Explosive Plastic is variation of the common high explosive round operates on the theory that it is more important to disable a tank by killing its crew rather than by penetrating its armor.
		The warhead consists of a soft explosive in a thin shell that is designed to open on impact, spreading the explosive on the armor in the short microseconds of delay before the base-detonating fuse fires it off.
		The amount of explosive carried was small because the bulk of the mass was solid to achieve adequate penetration.

	MySpace.com - Plastic Explosive - SAN DIEGO, California - Rock / Indie - www.myspace.com/plasticexplosive

		Plastic Explosive had a successful tour to South by Southwest in Austin, TX (March 2005), theyre debut self-titled release was nominated for Best Alternative Album by The San Diego Music Awards (Sept. 2005) and they continue to regularly play high profile shows in San Diego and Los Angeles.
		Well, since Plastic Explosive seems to be dead (hopefully PE has just been cryogenically frozen for the time being, much like Walt Disney's head), let me just say that if "Scan The Wasteland" is indeed your swan song, it is a hell of a swan song to say the least.
