Not to start an argument but reading Wikipedia is very interesting if you are interested in learning about Bakelite:
Bakelite
Main article:
Bakelite
The first plastic based on a synthetic polymer was made from
phenol and
formaldehyde, with the first viable and cheap synthesis methods invented in 1907, by
Leo Hendrik Baekeland, a
Belgian-born American living in
New York state.
