Kevlor A synthetic material which has high tensile strength and used in manufacturing of tires and also as a reinforcement agent in manufacturing of protective parts like helmet etc…, HISTORY In 1930’s a chemical company called DuPont prepared commercially succeful super polyamide. Actually in 1964 Stephanie kwolek discovered kevlor in DuPont laboratory while doing research on the high performance chemical compounds. Kevlor is patented Stephanie kwolek in 1966 which is used by many police…

Background Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon(PAH) when infiltrated within the body of humans and animals undergoes a series of chemically modified changes to form a number of metabolites that are known to elicit portentous and toxic effects (4). Benzo(a)pyrene has a chemical formula of C20H12 and is considered a Group 1 Carcinogen by the International Agency for Research and Cancer (IARC) (7, 11). It is composed of a cyclic structure and crystals appear to be pale yellow…

Diagram 1 ¶: The diagram of the atom Carbon-12 represents an ion and an isotope. Carbon-12 has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus, as shown on the diagram. Outside of the nucleus, this atom has five electrons. The protons are shown in the color orange, neutrons are in the color blue, and electrons in the color teal. The scientific principle subatomic particles says they are smaller than the atom itself, meaning protons with a positive charge, neutrons with a neutral charge, and…

Half-life Carbon dating is used to find the age of fossils, the earth, and rocks. 14C is an unstable isotope that causes radioactive decay. Because 14C causes radioactive decay, it is used in finding the age of organic matter, or the process of Carbon dating. Radioactive decay occurs when one element changes into another element as it decays. As 14C decays, it turns into 14N, an isotope of Nitrogen. Using the original amount of carbon in the organic material, and the half-life of carbon, 5,730…

Using Silver and Carbon in Wound Care Malodor, or odors that come from wounds, can be a challenge for both the patient and the care giver. The malodor can be quite unpleasant and may make the patient feel uncomfortable or embarrassed from it, causing them to isolate themselves and possibly delay much needed treatments. Delay of treatment can either prolong the healing process or make the wound worse. The odor usually comes from anaerobic bacteria that colonizes dead and dying tissues of wounds…

Introduction New York City during the Jazz Age was a brewing ground for chemicals of all sorts, from wood alcohol to carbon monoxide to chloroform to so many others. New York City poisonings were once taken lightly and brushed off as mere accidents or even as unimportant, but no more when Alexander Gettler took on the role of forensic chemist under Charles Norris. Gettler received his master’s degree at Columbia University in 1910, and then took a job as chemistry instructor at Bellevue Medical…

In this modern world, plastic be the most used material for packaging in almost every industry. The word ‘plastic’ comes from the Greek plastikos which means easily shaped (Robertson, 2013). Plastic is the combination of many molecules that linked together as one long chain which made from polymers: poly (Greek) means many and meros (Greek) means part (Robertson, 2013). Raw materials of plastic are called feedstock which come from natural and synthetic resources, such as crude oil, natural gas,…

Lots of American farmers found themselves unable to make enough money to support their families. One of the main ingredients of Moonshine is corn. A farmer could take a subpar corn farm and turn it into a goldmine. Obviously the Government did not approve of this practice. There are a couple good reasons for the Government to oppose this practice. With underground Moonshine sales growing they were losing a large amount of tax revenue; secondly, there was no way to regulate production, and…
