In 1856, in the town of Birmingham, one of the biggest industrial revelations occurred. The first man made plastic had been constructed, and it was presented at the Great international exhibition six years later by none other that the man who made it Alexander Parkes. Soon after more information was collected and it had come to the conclusion that plastics were synthetic organic polymers, and the reaction plastic was formed came to be known as polymerization. The word itself derived from the…

Results and Discussion 3.1 Composition of wheat starch granules The composition of starches and their separated A- and B- granules of two varieties are shown in Table 1. Amylose content of starches lies between 16.96 -24.69. The B-granules of the both varieties showed the lower value of amylose content while A- granules attributed to the high amylopectin to amylose ratio. Swelling power results the ability of starch to hydrate in specific cooking and heating process (90 °C/ 30 min.). The…

In my earlier years of elementary school, I picked up ‘Where The Sidewalk Ends’ and I believe it, along with other experiences, has shaped me to be who I am today. I am an avid believer that culture and literature have an immense influence on people, myself being a prime example. Considering there are 1 million works (and counting) in the English language, it is difficult to choose just three to portray my most prominent personality features. The first, and best word that comes timing is…

The SEM produces a largely magnified image by using electrons instead of light to form an image. A beam of electrons is produced at the top of the microscope by an electron gun. It consists of an electron gun to produce high energy electron beam. A magnetic condensing lens is used to condense the electron beam and a scanning coil is arranged in-between magnetic condensing lens and the sample. The electron detector (Scintillator) is used to collect the secondary electrons and can be converted…

The main criticism refers to the observation that a fraction of materials and concepts is very complicated for students of this age. As a result, they do not demonstrate the expected results. However, this criticism is based on an assumption of developmentally appropriate practices. As background and psychological…

Economic Lives of The Poor”, “All over the world, a substantial fraction of the poor act as entrepreneurs in the sense of raising capital, carrying out investment, and being the full residual claimants for the resulting earnings. In Peru, 69 percent of the households who live under $2 a day in urban areas operate a nonagricultural business. In Indonesia, Pakistan, and Nicaragua, the numbers are between 47 and 52 percent. A large fraction of the rural poor operate a farm: 25 to 98 percent of the…

Grateful My grandpa has always told me how lucky I am to be able to attend such a great school. It never came to mind why he would always say that to me when I brought up school. It wasn’t until I really saw what it meant to attend a good school and live in a nice home. I never thought of the importance of being employed or what happens when your parents aren’t able to provide for you. I never realized how to be thankful for my life until that day. I woke up early and put on my pink skirt…

Throughout the late 18th century, America was becoming t its own independent nation. The new independent nation needed to set up a government to rule them. There were several discussions on how America would be governed. Many people had different yet some similar ideas for America. Thomas Paine, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson all wrote their ideas on how America should set up their government. Some of these ideas were still used today but not used then…

nano-Cr2O3 content in the matrix, due to the higher microhardness of the nanofillers (29.5 GPa) compared to the pure poly(P-ddm) thermoset (367 MPa). The highest microhardness values is measured for the nanocomposite containing 20 wt.% of nano-Cr2O3 fraction by 413 MPa. Moreover, the good dispersion of nano-Cr2O3 fillers in the poly(P-ddm) matrix can also contribute to the improved microhardness values. Similar polybenzoxazine-ceramic systems also exhibited improved microhardness, such as…
