I will be explain and discussing about polypropylene, polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer that can be used in a big variety of applications including ropes and thermal carpet. An addition polymer is made from the monomer propylene, it contains unusual resistant to many solvents of chemicals, acids and bases. The properties of polypropylene is it is resistant to alkalis and acids, it is also high tensile in strength. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_synthetic_polymers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene
Introduction
Supramolecular chemistry is defined as chemistry “beyond the molecule”. Supra is latin and means above or beyond and it is one of the most discussed and fastest growing areas of experimental chemistry. Chemical

The supply of oil, however, is far from limitless. According to the New York Times, in March 2011, economists at the major international bank HSBC warned that less than 50 years' supply of oil is left. And for the second disadvantage, many synthetic polymers' most desirable feature is their chemical inertness -- their resistance to various kinds of chemical degradation. This same property, however, also means they last a long time once they are thrown away. According to a 2007 article in Slate, scientists estimate that a single plastic bag could take as much as 500 years to break down. This is heavily related to the factor of environmental, as it is very crude and can break down and destroy earth’s natural environment, since synthetic molecules cause a huge loss in crude oil and can cause lumps of trash which take 500 years to break …show more content…
Although environmental problems can lead to first world problems, they won’t help us as much as synthetic polymers do, they help us with carrying and making as well as inventing and creating such inventions that lead to developed ideas which can develop the world itself, so this is my reading to my opinion of using synthetic chemistry in our everyday
PET(Polyethylene Terephthalate) vs PLA(Polylactide), which one is better or worse than the other? Both of these polymer is used in the world today. PET is perhaps the more famous one because of its cheap prices and many uses. 30 % of the global demand for PET happens to be plastic bottles. PLA the other type of polymer is just now gaining momentum being used as a bottle in the market today. It is derived from renewable resources (corn) that we can regrow a lot easier than the polymer that we harvest from trees. In my opinion I think there are a few more pros for PET then there are for PLA.
The bank’s information security posture needs improvement base based on the number of deficiencies detailed thought this ROE. However, to management credit and to further strengthen the security process, on November 21, 2017, management decided to outsource the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) position with a qualified IT security firm. Management contracted GRC Solutions to act as the bank’s CISO. Mr. Frank Getter, Senior Consultant at GRC Solutions will perform the functions as the new CISO. Mr. Getter is a Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP) with over twenty years of experience in the information technology management, operations and information security field. Mr. Getter appears to have the necessary
The most common form of polyethylene is petroleum based or olefins based; as before mentioned polyethylene compounds have a wide commercial applicability and are made from non-renewable resources (Harding, Dennis, von Blottnitz, Harrison, & S.T.L., 2007). Its manufacturing processes are regarded as energy intensive and release significant amount of CO2 and heat into the atmosphere (Broderick, 2008). Next a little more detailed description of polyethylene’s production processes will be presented, with a focus on the way the material inputs are extracted and synthesized.
There are many accidental scientific discoveries in history, a very pertinent one being polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or Teflon. It is most popularly used on non-stick cookware, but is also used as a stain repellant, in the production of artificial body parts, as an electrical wire insulator, and as pipe lining to prevent corrosion, among others. Invented by Dr. Roy Plunkett, PTFE pushed the limits of innovation and has been used to improve human health. In recent years, controversy has risen as to the environmental effects PTFE has during production, and this has become a rising issue that is still being researched. While PTFE is considered serendipitous, a high degree of background knowledge on its components was needed in order to make conclusions as to what
The question, why do people become criminals raise a lot of views when it comes down to personal, social and environmental factors. While many think that people become criminals due to the environment and people they have grown up around, other’s think it is due to mental illness or just out of pure enjoyment. The following report will discuss how a person’s environment can impact them to become vicious killers, particularly discussing the Ivan Milat, a serial killer based in Australia, known for the case of the “Backpacker murders”.
In the article “Chemistry: Green and Clean.”, the author provides examples of harmful chemicals and their negative effect on nature. The author continues the article with solutions to the problems that are more natural and reasonable. Weeks talks about how one can adjust a process in order to use less energy and cut waste; chemist are identifying products or systems that have negative side effects such as pollution; and to use more natural and safer ingredients instead of toxic or wasteful ones. Jennifer weeks supports her claim with the use of factual evidence, reasoning and stylistic elements.
With the combination of polymers that don’t biodegrade and mass overproduction, companies are harming the environment in severe ways. Plastic, a material seen everywhere, is a polymer made from oil. It is mass produced to make everything from shampoo bottles to automobiles and does not biodegrade. When it is eventually thrown out, the waste usually finds it way into the ocean, where it is either buried under sediment or eaten by marine life (Weisman 287-295). Creating a material that will ultimately kill marine life will undoubtedly wreak havoc on the
Supramolecular chemistry actually represents a fairly simple concept.“In contrast to molecular chemistry, which is predominantly based on the covalent bonding of the atoms, supramolecular chemistry is based up on intermolecular interactions, i.e on the association of two or more building blocks, which are held together by intermolecular forces”. When molecules get larger, they have the ability to stick together and that allows the formation of larger assemblies of molecules that are not bonded to one another but stick together and organize themselves, just like the pieces of the puzzle. Supramolecular chemistry is the domain of chemistry that deals with the forces that will allow them to stick together, which may include hydrogen bonding,
Throughout this paper, we will explore some of the problems associated with a rapidly growing population leading to overpopulation, such as an increase in hunger, a loss of land, and a loss of resources received from the land. We will discuss when the problem began and the history of how fast the world’s population has multiplied from the lack of contraception assistance due to cost or availability; consequently, resulting in the overpopulation problem. Furthermore, I will purpose the righting of these problems will contribute to the solution. Moreover, we will discuss who and what are affected by the overpopulation problem. I will argue that population growth will be reduced with the use of Reproductive Education License of Four

Although organic reactions have been conducted by man since the discovery of fire, the science of Organic chemistry did not develop until the turn of the eighteenth century, mainly in France at first, then in Germany, later on in England. By far the largest variety of materials that bombard us are made up of organic elements. The beginning of the Ninetieth century was also the dawn of chemistry, all organic substances were understood
Polymers are also commonly referred to as plastics so now you can put in to perspective how much we use polymers. You can also realize
Fibre glass-reinforced polyester (FRP), poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC) and PVC are the usual materials in rigid plastic panels.
