BANGUS FISH SCALE AS MAIN COMPONENT OF CHAIR
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
For the past years, human society has struggled to come up with solutions for what to do with all the wastes in the environment. It is a dilemma that has grown only more exasperating. Plastics are one of the major dilemmas that we have. Although here in the Philippines, some places already banned the usage of plastic bags, we still noticed other things that are made of plastics that we just can’t take away from our system.
Plastic is the most convenient material man ever discovered due to its relatively cheapness, ease of manufacture, versatility, and imperviousness to water. It is an extremely useful material. Every household contains plastic in which it varies in sizes colors and uses. But plastics seemed to create a drastic effect. Because of the problem in supply in petroleums. Companies that makes plastic chairs tends to decrease the amount of resin in the mixture which result in low quality of the product. Its strength is lessened and so thus the quality, leaving the customers seek for more durable and stronger plastic chair that can also help minimize the use of petroleum-based materials. In response to this problem, the researchers seek to develop hard plastics that has a component from natural resources, such as fish scales, which contains collagen and act as a glue for more stronger bind.
Fish and fish products are consumed as food all over the world. With other seafoods, it provides the world's prime source of high-quality protein: 14–16 percent of the animal protein consumed worldwide. Over one billion people rely on fish as their primary source of animal protein. Fish, along with reptiles, have hard protective scales on their skin for protection. The outer body of many fish is covered with scales, which are part of the fish's integumentary system. The scales originate from the mesoderm (skin), and may be similar in structure to teeth. The squishy core of each scale is made from threads
