    is well known that interfacial compatibilizers, such as maleic anhydride grafted polymers, are capable of promoting adhesion in fiber reinforced polymeric foam composites. For instance, the maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MAH) could reduce the fiber-fiber interaction, but enhance the fiber-matrix interfacial bonding. Thus, a very fine-celled structure with the majority of cells smaller than 50 µm was successfully obtained in wood fiber reinforced

    This will provide us with a fallback position in the unlikely event of interruption of our primary source. Cost variation: Polyethylene resins are closely tied to the oil market and have been known to rise and fall as a result of changes in price of crude. Winsome plastics consider we have planned successfully for this possibility, both as a buyer and as a seller. Economic Influences:

    Discussion The results demonstrated the various properties of polymers that each reaction produced. For the nylon polymerization, a condensation reaction took place and produced a long, polymer string. As described in Figure 1, the product was clear and several meters long, and the fibers held together when stretched. However, when a portion of the nylon string was heated, fibers weakened. The nylon turned a bright white, and, when the stirring rod was used to move the piece, the string broke in

    alone. At first the benefit of creating synthetic materials was greatly overlooked for many years, but over time the benefits became more evident. Polyethylene’s first discovery was actually made on accident. In 1899, Hans von Pechmann discovered polyethylene at the bottom of a test tube in his laboratory (Sharp 18). He was convinced that this chemical was a waste product that could be found after chemical reactions had taken place. Making this assumption, he disregarded the chemical for what seemed

    Question of the day: What factors correlate to the time it takes for polyethylene glycol 3350 to dissolve? Hypothesis: Dissolve time has a direct negative correlation to temperature. Experimental Method: Polyethylene glycol 3350(PEG) was placed in water in order to measure the amount of time it took for the PEG to dissolve. The amount of both PEG and water were the same for each trial, the only changing factor was the temperature of the water. Timing started the moment PEG was placed into water

    It is often thought that only medicine allows you to diagnose and treat diseases or problems whether physical or mental. Physical therapy isn't classified as a medicine carrier. In physical therapy you will see how experienced therapists will diagnose minor to mayor problems or injuries and give the best treatment to regain certain movements and mobility. It is certainly an opportunity to help others in need. It has its branches and specialties, different opportunities and experiences. Not only athletes

    Observation: One day my mom was doing my sister’s nails and decided to do nail art and poured some nail polish onto a styrofoam plate and before she could put it on the brush it burned a hole through the plate. After I saw that I decided that when I had to do a science fair project that's what I would do and here we are. I got the information to do this (like the procedure) from a website called education.com. I found out chemical name nail polish and styrofoam on sciencefix.com and gal science

    The polymer that I choose is polyethylene glycol (PEG). Polyethylene glycol is produced because of the interaction with ethylene oxide with water, ethylene glycol or ethylene glycol oligomers. Some cons of using polyethylene glycol are hypersensitivity, unexpected change in pharmacokinetic behavior, and toxic side products. PEG is also a laxative that can also be used to prepare the bowels before surgery. PEG is also used to slow the clearing of protein from the blood. This makes medicine last longer
