Polyethylene

Question 1 Polyethylene is the world’s most widely used plastic. Polyethylene plastic’s principal application was in packaging, from trash bags to milk jugs. It was widely used in the manufacture of everything from trash bags, picnic cutlery and garbage pails, to plastic toys. Polyethylene also replaced glass, wood, and metal in certain applications. There were three types of polyethylene, Low-density polyethylene, High density polyethylene and Low linear density polyethylene. Polyethylene produced

is in the chromium-nickel alloy classification. 304 stainless steel used to be called 18/8 steel because it was made with 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Polyethylene is made from naphtha, or petroleum. Naphtha is extracted from crude oil. After strongly heating, or cracking, the naphtha, ethylene is released, which is transformed into polyethylene. The raw materials used to manufacture 304 stainless steel are chromium, nickel, and alloy. The properties of

(PBB) because it was being privatized by the government of Argentina. PBB, which is located in Bahia Blance, is a major producer of both ethylene and polyethylene in Argentina. Dow sees this as a very big opportunity for the company to expand its market, utilize its resources and invest on a company that will eventually become the leading polyethylene player in Latin America. Dow’s vice president of business development for Latin America, Oscar Vignart, and Luis Marcer, CFO of Dow Química

quality the second time it is used. Polyethylene plastic was accidently discovered through experiments many years ago and it can now be found in about everything we use in the modern life today. It is the most popular plastic in the world today.

Petroquímica Bahia Blanca S.A. (PBB), which was being privatized by the Argentine government. PBB produced both ethylene and polyethylene. It was part of a petrochemical complex located in Bahia Blanca, 700 kilometers south of the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires.1 Vignart believed that the acquisition of PBB offered Dow a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the leading polyethylene player in Latin America. tC

MATERIALS CHRACTERIZATION: 1. Tensile Testing: Tensile test for composites was conducted according to ASTM D 638 - 99, with a Universal Testing Machine (Zwick Co.). Tensile test was carried out at crosshead speed of 50mm/min at room temperature. 2. Izod Impact Testing: In order to measure the work of fracture (WOF), the Izod impact test was carried out.Impact bars were obtained by cutting specimens in rectangular shapes. These rectangular specimens are of thickness 3 mm, width 12 mm and length

Polyethylene pellets are first melted, and then transferred through a die unit where the melted polymer is transformed into a circular tube bubble. Once cooled the bubble is destroyed in half at the end of nip rolls. The destroyed bubble later revolves to become

In a randomized control trial by Smith, Usher, Alcock, and Petra (2013), the researchers aim to determine whether the use of NeoWrap, a polyethylene occlusive wrap, immediately after birth was more effective than standard protocol to control hypothermia in NICU admissions. Participants consist of 92 infants under 27 weeks of gestation and 44 infants less than 30 weeks gestation. The infants are randomly assigned to be in either the control or the intervention group; the control group is transferred

Bio-plastics are made from two words bio + plastics. The plastics made from biomass material or dispose easily as soil or both properties called bio-plastics. Bio-Plastics are not a single class of polymers but rather a family of products, which vary considerably. A bio-plastic is a substance made from organic biomass sources unlike conventional plastics which are made from petroleum. Bio-plastics are made from a number of different processes. Some uses a microorganism to process base material, such

One of the prevailing complications of premature neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is in the amount of calories and heat lost in the day to day movements like crying, fussing, moving and suckling. Neonates do not participate in thermal regulation inside a mother’s uterus and continue to lack the ability to do so for a few weeks after birth; they lack subcutaneous fat, have a large surface area to body weight ratio, and are therefore especially vulnerable to hypothermia in the first
