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
Composite softball bats - Slowpitch and Fastpitch Composite Softball Bats Composite bats are made of reinforced carbon fibre polymer. The carbon fibre polymer or composite can make up the whole softball bat or part of it. The softball bats that are made entirely out of this composite are called composite bats and the ones that are made of part of the composite and the rest of the bat is either aluminium alloy or wood they are known as composite hybrid bats. The carbon fibre polymer is used to reinforce
Loubani1 Reem Loubani Mrs. Dina Daher Chemistry Sunday December 25th, 2016 Plastic Synthesis Polymers are large molecules composed of smaller molecules called monomers. Polymers are found almost everywhere around you. Some of them are naturally occurring, such as proteins, starch, silk, and wool, while others, such as nylon, Teflon, and plastics, are synthesized in labs to yield important products. Plastic is a material widely known by people; it is used in an enormous range of products

Optimized cycle timing and higher efficiency of molds increase your production capabilities. Great Flexibility – Use of an extended range of thermoplastic materials gives the product manufacturers further choices. Better coloring and design variations are accessible. Plastic moulding helps the businesses to meet the market
Roy Cohn- Born on February 20th, 1927, in New York City and passed away on August 2nd, 1986, in the Bronx. Cohn was on Senator Joseph McCarthy’s side during his trials on communists in the movie production industry and government. Today the United States, alone among the major democracies, has no Communists, socialists, anarchists, left-wing political groups except in microscopic numbers. All because of Roy Cohn. His father, Albert Cohn, was a judge and well known in the Democratic Party. Juan Peron-
copolymer. As said before graft process is the base of the synthesis of ABS and it is important to follow the steps in order to obtain the desired product. Rubber and monomers like acrylonitrile and styrene are the only reagents that can produce this thermoplastics whose properties will depend on the proportion of the reagents used. All the grafting process could be summarized by the following reaction that has ABS as the final product: Figure 6. General reaction of the synthesis of
within the next of couple of years. Recyclable thermoset plastics: A new kind of plastic to cut landfill waste. Thermoplastics and thermoset plastics are two types of plastic. The former can be heated and shaped and are used in the modern world many times, containing everything from children's toys to toilet seats. Because they can be melted down and reshaped, thermoplastics are usually recycled. Thermoset plastics can only be heated and shaped once, after which the molecular changes mean they
Safety helmets- Keeping people protected Safety is the first thing that a job must ensure its employees. Till date, the safety of the employee stands as the foremost concern of any employer since this speaks a lot about the standards of the company. These safety helmets or the hard hats are the ones that are used by the people who are involved in the construction or the other civic works. The chances of getting injured are pretty high in the field and thus this calls the immediate need for the use

Thanks to the breadth of their services, which include roof installation, roof repair, and re-roofing, they're familiar with all types of materials and the average lifespan of a roof. There
Synthetic molecules and their impact on technology and our daily life Name: jeena Grade: 9A Teachers name: Bader Saidi Unit title: how do atoms bond? Introduction: Innovation is the result of a need, a demand, and to solve an issue or a problem. This allowed scientists over the years, not only study natural elements and well known compounds, but led them to form various chemical reactions to produce new products; synthetic products that will serve their need. I chose this topic
Finding alternatives may be difficult because PVC has a lot of greater features such as being cost efficient, durable, scratch resistant, and formable. The alternative of thermoplastic urethane (TPU) is twice the price, which will increase cost significantly for the company. Herman Miller as a company must not only work to incorporate their new C2C design protocol but simultaneously keep good relationships with suppliers and
Create a Metal by Welding Process Metal Fabrication is one of the conventional methods for making substantial hardware and today numerous welding organizations are giving an advanced touch to this strategy. Metal creation might be portrayed as a quality expansion handle that involves the development of machines and structures from different crude materials. There can be doubtlessly metal creation welding grants quality and security for a working gear or gadget. Metal Fabrication and welding for

touchs all facets of the triple bottom-line. Further, there is a on campus organization call Carolina Conscious. This organization provided students with eco-friendly solo cups. Unlike regular solo cups who are not recyclable due to the No. 6 thermoplastic polystyrene, this cup turns into soil within 50 day. Another benefit of the cups is that they bring awareness about the topic of sexual assault to campus. Click the hyperlink for more information on how these cups effect the environment and campus
Case Study Palousek et al. (2014) describes the case study of wrist orthosis design process. The whole manufacturing methodology of the case study covers five main steps (Figure 13): • Data acquisition of the upper limb – one side geometry, • Polygonal data processing, • Parametric surface generating, • CAD design process, • RP of the orthosis, • Surface finishing, coloring and • Testing. Figure 13 Design process of the upper limb orthosis Data acquisition Scanning was performed with a di3D FCS-100
INTRODUCTION HPC is non ionic semisynthetic polymer. Hydroxypropyl cellulose is also commonly known as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) or hypromellose which is a coating agent and film-former and used as an inactive ingredient in the pharmaceutical industry. It has also been used as a rate-controlling polymer for sustained-release dose forms in pharmaceutical industry. CHEMISTRY HPC is an ether of cellulose. In HPC some of the hydroxyl groups in the repeating glucose units have been hydroxypropylated
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 polyesters are the most widely biodegradable polymers
TASK: When a ball is dropped from a height, it loses some of its energy and each bounce gets shorter. Your investigation will determine the effect of original drop height on bounce height. From this, energy loss can be calculated between bounces. As different groups will be using different balls, you will be able to compare energy loss with different balls. You are required to present your findings in a lab report format, which has been detailed below. The lab report must be typed. The task
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
