i need an experiment to determine if plastic is porous thanks in advanced for any help you give
Is you piece of plastic a container? what you can do is put some dyed water in it and submerse it in a large contain of clear water and watch to see if the dye seeps out from the sides of the tube. You can also do the opposite where you put clear water in the test container and submerse it in a pool of dyed water. If you plastic is not a container, you can still do the same type of experiment, you just have to position the plastic in a way to make a barrier between dyed water and clear water.

to test the porosity of plastic (which i'm pretty sure not many are) 1. take a small tub and fill it with water 2. weigh your sample of plastic then put it in the water for a set time, say two minutes. 3. take the plastic out of the water and re-weigh to find the difference. if the plastic weighs more, then it's holes have been filled with water, like a sponge, and you can see exactly how much water it's taken up with this test. hope thats what youre looking for!
