Describe the Properties of Biopol Biopol is a copolymer made of the monomers PHV and PHB. PHB alone, with its short methyl side chain, is brittle and has very high crystallinity, meaning it cracks easily. Due to its high crystallinity and overall unsuitable properties for industrial use, PHV has been added to created PHBV, or Biopol. Biopol is semicrystalline, meaning it can still crystallize as well as melting at a lower temperature than PHB, making it industrially suitable. Due to its long…

commonly used in food packaging.” (Novak, I., Popelka, A., Spitalsky, Z., Krupa, I., & Tavman, S., 2016) Polyethylene is a member of the polyolefin family and is the most commonly used plastic around the world. A thermoplastic that is made from the monomer ethylene is known as low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Low-density polyethylene was the first class of polyethylene created, and it was made by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) in 1933. ICI used a highly-pressured process through free…

Created in 1965 by Stephanie Kwolek, Kevlar is a synthetic fiber that can be used in a wide variety of ways [1]. It is used to make body armor, tires and automotive belts. Governments around the world use this material to protect their soldiers in combat, motorcyclists use it to protect themselves against road rash in the event of a crash, and it is also utilized in ropes and cables. While these uses for Kevlar have revolutionized personal protection, there is one particular application for…

The research work regarding the chemical processes within/relating to living organisms is said to be biochemistry, also known as biological chemistry. The complication of life can occur during biochemical process, if we control the information flow through biochemical signaling and through metabolism chemical energy flow. Various study fields like botany, medicines, genetics, Etc.which are areas of life science, are engrossed in research related to biochemical because biochemistry has made it…

A polymer is a large molecule which is formed by repeated linkage of small molecule called monomers. Conducting polymer have been the subjects for many decades as possible synthetic metals. Many of these polymer, especially those with a conjugated pi-bond system ,often yield higher conductivity once having undergone the doping process. Polymers are typically insulators due to their very high resistivity .Insulators have tightly bound electrons so that nearly no electron flow occurs ,and they…

2.1. Theoretical Background 2.2. Material Selection Material selection plays an important role as the humidifier has to deal with a pressure of 2 Bar and temperature ranging from ambient to 90oC (maximum) and have to bare a load of 80 Newton. Simultaneously it should be lighter than aluminum and should be cheaper and fabricating time should be less and it should be capable of mass production and before all this it should serve the purpose. when developing plastic parts. Selection of an…

where does it enter the digestive tract? Each group will be assigned one of the following bites of food. First, think about the class of molecule this food item represents and then identify the specific enzymes that would break this polymer into monomers. Remember to describe features that help mechanically digest this bite. Depending on your food item, you may need to do some additional research. Bread Butter Steak Celery…

The total proteins are composed of 12.8 grams, while cholesterol at 13.8 grams for every 100 grams of fertilized duck egg (Table 2) (Jalaludeen & Churchill, 2006). Proteins aid in the cultivation of various bacteria whereas it is one of the basic growth components in bacterial cultivation. Moreover, the presence of cholesterol in vivo aids in nurturing bacteria and allow it entry into host cells. (Tille, 2013). Table 2 Nutritive Value of Duck egg compared to Chicken egg.…

evolution, from one that was initially focused on the role of hard plaque in the development of disease and the removal of this plaque as the goal for disease-modifying drug development, to using specific soluble components of the plaques (oligomers and monomers) as potential drug targets. (Aggarwal, Shah, and…

present determines the prefix for the carbohydrate. A monosaccharide is the simplest sugar, which includes single sugar molecules such as fructose and glucose. Proteins are the most versatile of the organic molecules. They are polymers composed of monomers called amino acids. Protein is primarily responsible for the…
