Polymers a large molecules made up of a chain of smaller molecules, known as monomers. The monomers that a polymer is made up of decide its structure and therefore it's function. These monomers are linked and coiled in a very specific manor giving the polymer a specific tertiary structure (an extensively coiled and linked polymer chain caused as a result of the formation of more bonds forming). This tertiary structure is crucial to the function of a polymer as it denotes the necessary shape of the complementary molecule. This is easier explained through an example.

Experiment 55 consists of devising a separation and purification scheme for a three component mixture. The overall objective is to isolate in pure form two of the three compounds. This was done using extraction, solubility, crystallization and vacuum filtration. The experiment was carried out two times, both of which were successful.

The vial was removed from the heat and cooled to room temperature. The spin vane was rinsed with 2-3 drops of warm water over the conical vial. The vial was cooled to room temperature then placed in an ice bath for 15 minutes. The liquid was decanted from the mixture and the resulting crystals were dried on filter paper. The crystals were then placed on a watch glass for further drying. The crystals were weighed and a small sample was placed into a capillary tube for melting point determination.

To keep it as simple as possible, (K.I.S.S.) this topic involves the study of: 1. POLYMERS FROM PETROCHEMICALS & BIOMASS

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.

HCl, it is strong acid and when blended with ammonia, it produces a dense insoluble chloride fog.

World War Two's most famous contributions to the history of body armor is the flak jacket. Made from ballistic nylon, the flak jacket was "cumbersome and bulky" and "was ineffective against most pistol and rifle threats," (Bellis, n.d.). However, flak jackets were very effective in preventing casualties related to shrapnel. Shrapnel did account for as much as 70% of all Second World War casualties (Pike, 2011). No significant advancements in body armor were made between the end of World War Two and the 1970s. Even during the Vietnam War, flak jackets were still being used. In the 1970s, though, Kevlar was invented. Kevlar and other lighter weight materials allowed for constant protection that was relatively comfortable to wear. Moreover, the improved materials could protect greater surface area on the body. As Pike (2011) points out, "Most fatal penetrating injuries were caused by missiles entering through areas not protected by body armor, such as the face, neck, pelvis, and groin." Unlike earlier materials, Kevlar also

Plastics are also called polymers, are produced by natural products like oil, natural gas or coal.

CornelCookson is a leading manufacturer of overhead coiling doors and custom closure products. One of their most popular products is the steel slated rolling steel door (see Figure 1), which is used to provide security and weather protection across a wall opening of a building. An astragal (see Figure 2), which is a weather seal, is supplied at the bottom of the door to help prevent the transfer of fluids from one side of the wall to the other. The current material of the astragal is Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV), which is composed of 40%

The solution is then cooled and recrystallization of the solute occurs. For a solvent pair to

Bulletproof vest are made of either ceramic materials, layered Kevlar, metal plating, tensil liquids or a variety of other materials depending on the calibre of the weapon being shielded against. Small hand guns with low power will be effectively protected against by vests made of Kevlar fabric while higher calibre weapons will require more protection. Hand grenades and shotguns may require metal plated vests. (“What is a Bulletproof made of”).

As stated, our solvent in this lab will be tert-butanol. We start by recording the freezing point of this substance without anything added. Then, we add various
