The Process of Making Ceramic Discs

After each of the solids were completely dry, each was placed into a MelTemp device. The temperature at which each solid began to melt and completed melting was recorded.

Although, Jade Stones and Basalt Stones both offer therapeutic and health benefits for its clients, it is the physical properties of Jade Stones that permits additional benefits. Uniquely, both stones physical properties allow them to retain heat, which contributes to their use in Heat Therapy Treatments. Nevertheless, to understand how these stones compare and contrast, it is necessary to know the answers to the following: What are their physical characteristics? How do they retain heat? What therapeutic and health benefits do they offer based on their physical characteristics? What additional benefits do Jade Stones offer?

Melting points are indicative of identifying an unknown product and the level of impurity the product contains. In this case, the possible identity of the product based on its melting points are determined by comparing the obtained melting points of the product to the melting points of the five possible products. Two mini capillaries, containing the product only, were used to determine the product’s melting point. For one mini capillary, the temperature range was 132.1-134.2℃, and the product’s melting point for the second minicapillary ranged from 135.1-137.5℃. In addition, melting points were obtained with the product mixed with meso-hydrobenzoin. The temperature range was 135.0-136.0℃ and 135.0-137.5℃. Although the recorded melting point values fall into the racemic range, but the results still indicate that the product is a meso-hydrobenzoin. The melting point values for the product mixed with the meso-hydrobenzoin standard explains that it is unlikely that the product is racemic. The melting point values were two degrees from each other due to the meso-hydrobenzoin standard making

The mixture was transferred to an ice bath to crystallize the product, after which the product was collected by vacuum filtration on a Hirsch funnel, washing the flask with small aliquots of cold xylene and pouring the solution over the crystals, allowing the vacuum to thoroughly dry the product. Additional drying was achieved by transferring the product to filter paper and pressing the crystals to remove any excess moisture. The product was then weighed and a melting point determined. A comparative TLC was run in Hexanes:Ethyl Acetate solvent against maleic anhydride to verify the purity of the

Sodium alginate and calcium chloride are two main chemicals in spherification. When you are doing spherification with food, it has to be in liquid form (such as fruit juice, soda, pudding, soup, or pureed fruit) (Rowland). In a blender, the food is mixed with sodium alginate to make a smooth solution. The food and sodium alginate mixture is then added, one drop at a time, into a bath of calcium chloride mixed with water. If everything works, the sodium alginate and food mixture turns into drop-size spheres when the calcium chloride comes into contact with the food and sodium alginate mixture. After the spheres are made, they can then be removed from the calcium chloride solution (using a spoon) and the served (Rowland). If you are trying to find alginate, look in seaweed. Alginate molecules are always found in seaweed. Hydrocolloid or gum are some other words for this molecule. This is because alginate has the ability to gel or thicken water. Alginate has to be evenly spread out into the liquid that it is going to gel. There also has to be no lumps and the molecules to be surrounded by water or hydrated (ChefSteps). When you mix sodium alginate with any liquid can cause air bubbles to form. This can cause the liquid to be very dense. Air bubbles can be a problem with spherification because they can cause weak points in the sphere’s membrane and cause it to

The mixture was heated at 120°C using an aluminum block and was stirred gently. After all of the solid dissolved, it was heated for 20 additional minutes to ensure the reaction was complete.

Purpose: Figuring out the physical and chemical properties of multiple known powders by completing a series of tests.

All artists are influenced by the culture they are from. Our experiences and the environment in which we were raised shapes us, and thus the works we produce as artists. This essay will discuss, compare and contrast two artists from different cultures, and their ceramic artworks, with a focus on how their cultural background has influenced their art. The artists that will be discussed are Janet Fieldhouse, who is influenced by her Torres Strait Islander heritage and Aboriginal artist Dr. Thancoupie Gloria Fletcher.

made supported one another. For instance, we observed that the red powder turned black when heat was applied, therefore Oxygen from

Aim: To classify unknown substances according to their structure type and to observe how the structure of materials affects their uses.

We packed the powdered alum into a capillary then dropped it onto the lab table to make it move to the bottom. My group then strapped the tube onto a thermometer using a rubber band. Next, we clamped the thermometer with the capillary tube onto a ring stand with a rubber stopper. We dipped the thermometer and tube into a Thiele melting point tube that held silicon oil inside of it. My group heated the tube with a bunsen burner and waited for the powdered alum to melt from the capillary tube. We recorded the temperature at which the alum disappeared from the tube to get our melting point. This whole process was repeated to find a more accurate melting point than the first

In Figure 4, Young's modulus is plotted against yield strength. The diagonal line in the figure represents the material index M= σy/E. Materials below the diagonal line are the best candidate materials because they will remain elastic while providing the maximum conformability. All materials that cost more than $2.20 per pound and have a UV rating of "poor" were eliminated. Also, only materials that can be made through the polymer extrusion process were considered. The candidate materials are listed in Table 1 and ranked by the material index. The current material, TPV, is included in the table for

In the Article, “Sophia Nuske Ceramics Make You question everyday objects,” the ceramic artist Nuske is discussed and her recent works are introduced. Nuske takes common, everyday objects that most people would not bother focusing their attentions on, and creates jarring replicas that will have viewers stop and stare to take in the odd arrangement. The common objects, such as an ordinary wooden pencil, are altered in appearance by bending them in unnatural shapes and giving them unusual colors. The objects were set up in a gallery, where they were placed in situations that they would normally be found in (e.g. pencils on a desk or similar flat surface). She has won several awards for her work.
