Polymer

of sugar molecules 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…

CASE STUDY: GLOCK 17 The Glock 17 is a striker fired, short recoil, locked breech semi-automatic pistol with a polymer frame. Conventional pistol designs typically deploy a pivoting hammer in the rear of the pistol’s frame that impacts a firing pin mounted in the slide. Striker fired pistols replace this two piece assembly with a single linear spring loaded striker assembly housed completely in the slide. EXPLODED VIEW CONFIGURATIONS CALIBRE/SYSTEM:…

Aerosol cans and gas laws Global issue- During World War II the U.S government supported an investigation into finding a portable way for service men to spray malaria carrying bugs. Finding cure for malaria was a massive issue all over the world during World War 2 but when the cure was found the only possible way to prevent the disease from spreading was by killing the malarial bugs through spraying them. Getting a portable can to spray them was a huge problem during the World War 2 era as there…

Cutin,Waxes and Suberin Definition: There are lipophilic barriers in all plants that prevent the water loss and manage the movement of, solutes, and gases.Cutin waxes and suberin are these lipophilic barriers. (1) (2) Introduction: Cuticle is the protective and waterproofing covering that covers the plant organs and prevent water loss and entry of microorganism.Cuticle structural component is cutin. Suberin also act as a fence for the pressure from the environment and cutting and is formed…

Clinical studies have tended to benefit from newly developed biomaterials and technologies for therapy and diagnostics, as well as medical instruments. Scientists have evaluated the influence of polymer-based devices on cell surfaces at the final products level, also the polymers used in regenerative medicine. Plasma treated materials have had an important role in medicine. Plasma treated materials are undergoing fast development. Although the undesired adverse effects of nanotechnological…

viewers had a sense of relations between the painting the case displayed work. The title “Polvo” translates to Octopus, as to why the artist choose the eight legged organic sea creature correlates much closely to the topic of skin tone. Melanin, the polymer that makes color on the skin and the hair on the human body possible, is present in the ink that octopuses jets out as an act of…

Ashley Newlon | Art Education 1600 | Autumn 2015 | Smith | Art Paper Rod Gilbert, Andy Warhol, and The Athlete Series Andy Warhol’s painting’s, the Athletes series, is famously known, but can be complicated to decipher. On Friday, November 20th, I was lucky enough to make a visit to the Columbus Museum of Art. With only five minutes to spare after…

What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates play a major role in our body, but many people don’t even know what they are. To show the true role of carbohydrates in the body you need to thoroughly break down every carbohydrate. CH2O is the general molecular formula for carbohydrates and it was once even called “hydrated carbon”. Each and every carbohydrate contains at least one carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atom, as well as being an organic compound. Though many people believe carbohydrates are bad for…

A nucleic acid is a polymer that is made up of smaller units called nucleotides. These nucleotides play a significant role in creating important structures found in our body such as deoxyribonucleic acid, more commonly referred to as DNA, and ribonucleic acid or RNA. (Erster, Lecture 4 Chapter 5) Ribonucleic acid is then categorized into two types of RNA: mRNA and tRNA (there are other types but the ones mainly discussed in protein synthesis only involved these two). The DNA and RNA are partners…
