Plastic Overtaking the Oceans In a study conducted by UC Santa Barbara’s National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), they found that “8 million metric tons of plastic” are added to the oceans pollution each year. Recently, plastic pollution has been become a predominant problem in the environmental society; however plastic production and pollution has been on the rise since the nineties. Plastic is overwhelming the world, because it is not biodegradable, meaning it can…

cotton perfect material for a baby’s jumpsuit; as babies tend to have very sensitive skin. Indeed all the properties of cotton fabric are related to the chemical structure of cotton polymer: cellulose. Cellulose is a condensation polymer make up of monomers called glucose. Polyester which are great materials for fleece jects and children’s nightwear etc. has qualities of low warmth, non-absorbent, dries quickly, durable, very easily to care for, crease resistant and can be recycled. (Insert…

1.1 Overview of aerospace industry Globally, 3.57 billion passengers travelled on aeroplanes during 2015 and the demand for air travel is predicted to keep rising.1 As the frequency of air travel is increasing, it places a pressure on the aerospace industry to improve material performance and the efficiency of their transportation.2 Classically aircraft were constructed from metallic materials such as aluminium and titanium. Therefore, new materials must have specific properties and…

Transferrin is a protein that circulates in the plasma and is encoded by the transferrin (TF) gene. The protein contains 678 amino acid residues, 19 disulfide bonds and has a molecular mass of about 80 kDa. Transferrin has a combination of alpha helices and beta sheets that form an N-terminus and a C-terminus domain (1). The iron ion that binds to the protein binds to two tyrosine, one aspartic acid and one histidine residues. In humans, the major function of transferrin is to regulate the level…

The energy currency for almost all living organisms is a compound called ATP, or adenosine tri-phosphate. This compound is made of up one adenine and three phosphate molecules which link together to form a structure like this: Adenosine Notice that the three bonds within this molecule become increasingly longer the farther away the phosphate is from the adenosine. This is to represent the fact that the bonds weaken as the distance between the adenosine and phosphates increases. This is…

Chlorine is the second to lightest member of the halogen elements. It is in Group 17 (Group VIIA) and period 3 of the periodic table. The element symbol for Chlorine is Cl. Chlorine is a greenish yellow gas that is corrosive, toxic and can be irritating to the eyes and respiratory system. Chlorine is a nonmetal that has the atomic mass of 35.45 amu. It has a melting point of -100.98 degrees Celsius and a boing point of -34.6 degrees Celsius. However, at room temperature it is a gas. Chlorine…

carbon with the unpaired electron. The head-to-tail reaction is also more favorable since the fourth carbon has less steric interference from the surrounding substituents. When adding in the head-to-head orientation, the acetate group portions of the monomers (which act as substituents to the polymer chain) are placed right next to each other— in the head-to-tail orientation there is one carbon in-between. Literature values indicate that there should be no more than 1 to 2 % of head-to-head…

testing how mealworms react to another common plastic, polypropylene. This type of plastic is commonly used in the production of textiles, ropes, and bioplastic, but is considerably less reactive to microbial acid. Regardless of which polymers and monomers mealworms can decompose, they doubtlessly present an economic method of reducing…
