Research on Nylon

[mamakosj]

I am doing A' level physics, and for one of my courseworks, I am doing a presentation on nylon; its history, properties and uses. I am currently at the research stage, so any pointers would be much appreciated.

 

If you know of any good websites, books, journals, articles or any other pieces of information, which would be of use, then please tell me.

 

Thank you in advance.

Well presentation ideas...that's vague.

If you aren't 100% comfortable with public speaking..

I'd suggest powerpoint. Always have a backup plan in case the Powerpoint doesn't work!

Thank you....again! I'll have a go at using 'Microsoft Powerpoint' as my presentation aid. Do you have any suggestions to help me make the most of powerpoint, or do you know of any advanced controlls that i cold use to my benefit?

I haven't used Powerpoint in awhile..

So specifically I can't be of much help.

I suggest fiddling around with the effects/noises/animations.

Make it professional but 'fun' at the same time.
