The two polyesters produced in the first part of this experiment are a linear structured polyester with thermoplastic properties, and a cross-linked polyester with thermosetting properties. The linear polyester was produced from the reaction of phthalic anhydride with ethylene glycol. Due to the fact that both of these components have only two functional groups, the polymer chain is linear. As shown in Picture 1 above, the product formed from the reaction is a solid and resulted in a dark color change
While performing the slime lab, we were trying to find the effect of borax on glue and water. We mixed glue and water together and added small amounts of borax water to it. We wanted to find the difference in stretchiness with different amounts of borax. After adding the borax, we measured how far the slime could stretch. We hypothesized that the slime would stretch farther when more borax was added. Slime was developed in the beginning of the twentieth century during the time while synthetic
Polyester Fibres Indtroduction: Polyester are polymers made by a condensation reaction taking place between small molecules, in which the linkage of the molecules occurs through the formation of estes groups. Polyesters are commonly made by interaction of a dibasic acid with a dihydric alcohol: HOOC-X-COOH+HO-Y-OH OC-X-COO-Y-OCO-X-COO-Y-OCO The formation of polyester was studied by Wallace H. Carothers of du Point during the investigation of polyesters which lead eventually to the
Polyester is an important component to consumers all around the globe. It is made from a fiber that can be manufactured into goods such as, clothes, furnishing, water bottles, balloons, hoses, and many more useful items. Most notably however, it has made a huge impact in the T-shirt industry. Where would the great disco days of the 70’s be without polyester clothing? It’s safe to say that polyester has become an important resource in everyday life, but how did such a commodity to the everyday consumer
Polyester is synthetic fiber which mainly derive organic chemical compound from coal, air, water and petroleum and have the ester linkage. According to How (2015), the chemical reaction between an acid and alcohol formed polyester where a combination of two or more molecules form large molecule whose the structure repeats throughout its length. Researched by Smith (n.d) mentioned that production of polyester is by the chemical reaction of ethylene glycol with either terephthalic acid or its methyl
1.1. Polyesters Polyesters are the polymers that contain ester functional group in their main chain. The polyesters can be classified according to the composition of their main chain as aliphatic and semi-aromatic in addition to aromatic polyesters. Also can be thermoplastic or perhaps thermoses. All common polyesters are thermoplastics (Rosato, L. et al. 2004).According to the composition of their main chain; polyesters can be classified as shown in table 1. 1.1. 1. Aliphatic polyesters Aliphatic
an alicyclic glycol [52], the cycloaliphatic structure of 1,4 cyclohexanedimethanol imparts particular conformational transitions and molecular structure to polyesters [53]. Ni et al [54] stated that polyesters containing cyclic moieties in their backbone are of transitional mechanical properties in comparison to aromatic and linear polyesters. 1,4 cyclohexanedimethanol could provide an excellent compromise between hardness and flexibility. The two primary hydroxyl functionalities provide excellent
or to store the kids bikes out of the rain. With two access doors on the vestibule and two on the tent, you won’t be falling over each other getting in and out. What’s more the tent door openings each come with two zip up doors, one mesh and one polyester ripstop, so you can choose mesh to just keep the bugs out on warm nights, or complete closure for those colder nights.
Lois' body was found with the .22 caliber gun in her left hand, but the bullet entered through the right temple. This is highly unlikely that she shot herself. The two bullets fired and the gunpowder on her left hand indicate that the killer fired the first shot to murder Lois, then they put the gun in the victim's hand, fired a second shot to create the gunpowder left over on the victim hand. After the second shot the killer retrieved the second bullet to try to hide the evidence. After getting
It is made from 100% polyester fill materials, which explains its affordable price tag. The polyester fill also plays a big role in ensuring this pillow-top mattress pad is long lasting and easy to maintain. In fact, it is machine washable. Also, it is overfilled to offer more comfort whilst being luxurious soft
5" x 18", which means it'll fit on most standard flag stands. It's 100 percent polyester and can be washed in a machine without fading. It's made with permanent Color-Max dye, and the fabric is fade and mildew resistant.
Introduction: Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are a class of polyesters produced by several groups of bacteria under unbalanced growth conditions as a mechanism to store excess carbon and energy, and they occur as water-insoluble inclusions in the cells (Anderson and Dawes 1990; Zinn et al. 2001). These polyesters have garnered worldwide interest because they are biodegradable (Ho et al. 2002; Lenz and Marchessault 2005; Lim et al. 2005), biocompatible (Zinn et al. 2001; Hazer and Steinbuchel 2007) and
socks are not the greatest option for individualists who want everything they wear to be an extension of their personality. What’s included? Included in one pack of Dockers Dress Flat Knit Socks are 5 pairs of socks, each one primarily composed of polyester and with a non-binding stay-up top to ensure a secure fit without risk of leaving a mark. While some sock brands offer warranties, Dockers doesn’t include any such thing with its Dress Flat Knit Socks, meaning you may have some trouble obtaining

different types of fabric, cut them into 20 by 20 cm squares and label them. We had to buy some dye in order to find out how each fabric reacted to it. We used three squares of each of out five fabrics, our fabrics were cotton, linen, poly cotton, polyester, and nylon. Then you had to wash them in the washing machine for approximately thirty- eight minutes, with one fourth cup of Tide Simply fresh and Clean detergent, Then the materials dried over night, for the best results. The next day we put
It is used as a commodity chemical, principally as a starting compound for polyester manufacturing. Figure 4: Molecular Structure of dimethyl terephthalate Dimethyl terephthalate is the organic compound with formula C10H10O4. It is the diester formed from terephthalic acid and methanol. It is a white solid that melts to give a
The leadership style of Mukesh Ambani is very distinctive. He is very different to how a Steve jobs or Michael Dell would function. Mukesh Ambani doesn’t restrict himself to the traditional boundaries of monocratic, transformational and situational leaderships among others. His own unique methods are what make for the Mukesh Ambani leadership style. Before probing into Mukesh Ambani leadership style, it is necessary to understand how he thinks and how he approaches his work. To put it simply, Mukesh
with their methods they can reduce the byproducts that are harmful to the environment by a large scale. Considering Nike’s main impact is on the environment one of the method Nike use is recycling plastic bottles and turning them into polyester and using the polyester to make clothing and sportswear, with 8 plastic bottles they can produce one shirt this helps the environment by reducing the garbage and
use of logos. In this article the author Arnon Grafit, give the reader a grasp of the use of bluestar. Arnon Grafit tested four fabrics, which are a white cotton, pale blue jean cotton, blend of pale blue, which was half cotton and half polyester, and a white polyester. With all fabrics, he tested it with bluestar, by the use of someone blood, which he spattered in different angle. After some days, he test each fabric, and according to the article each had different results. As a

Chemical stabilizer used is Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and the fiber is taken from car waste tyre (Polyester). Physical properties test is conducted to determine the physical properties of the peat. According to von Post classification system, the type of the peat used is classified under H7 which is pseudo-fibrous peat or hemic peat. This present study
