"A carbon fiber is a long‚ thin strand of material about 0.005-0.010 mm in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are bonded together in microscopic crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber. The crystal alignment makes the fiber incredibly strong for its size. Several thousand carbon fibers are twisted together to form a yarn‚ which may be used by itself or woven into a fabric. The yarn or fabric is combined with epoxy and wound or molded

The introduction of the carbon tax in Australia. Recently‚ the carbon tax issue has been gaining increasing attention in Australia due to its function of reducing greenhouse gas as well as its extensive economic impacts on a range of industries‚ such as tourism and hospitality. The conceptual meaning of the carbon tax is “a levy applied to various operations that generate carbon dioxide” (Covey‚ 2009‚ p.329). Such a tax is introduced to achieve a desired national emission target (Covey‚ 2009)

Carbon Emission and it’s Issues Recently‚ the amount of carbon emissions reached 40 billion tons. This is a record high‚ and is very damaging for Earth and humans alike. Carbon emission is a serious issue that can affect all of us in the near future. It is very harmful to the environment‚ but can also be delayed. Carbon emission is the total amount of carbon dioxide that are released in the air. There are natural and unnatural reasons for this. Nature‚ releases carbon dioxide‚ one of the most common

Describe how the uses of plant fibres and starch may contribute to sustainability How can plant fibres be used? First of all the plant fibres have to be extracted from the plant itself. The process of extraction often used is called retting. Retting involves using water or micro-organisms to dissolve or rot away the cellular tissues surrounding the bast-fibre bundles. Afterwards the fibres are obtained; usually they extract very long sclerenchyma cells and xylem tissue because of their good

important‚ this being carbon. There are many interesting things about carbon including‚ facts about it‚ its history‚ and what it is used for. Carbon is a very important element‚ in fact‚ life could not exist without it. Carbon (C on the periodic table) is a chemical element and is the sixth most abundant element in the world. Carbon is the 6th element on the periodic table in group 14‚ period 6‚ it has six protons‚ six electrons‚ and six neutrons‚ with an atomic mass of 12.01u. Carbon has a boiling point

by the rise in temperatures and carbon levels. It was then that Carla‚ a carbon atom was born at the Sahara desert. At night‚ Carla and her friends went outside to watch the stars peacefully. It had never occurred to them that the night would bring a sudden kidnap. All of Carla’s friends and Carla were attached to two oxygen atoms. Unfortunately‚ Carla fainted during the kidnap so when she woke up‚ she took the surprise of no longer being carbon but carbon dioxide. Carla then turned around and saw

implement a Carbon Tax from July 1‚ 2012 has triggered an intense controversy among the Australian citizens. The term “Carbon tax” refers to an environmental tax that polluters will pay per ton of carbon they release into the atmosphere. This essay will argue that carbon taxes should not be introduced in Australia due to inefficacy‚ financial burdens and better actions to protect environment. First of all‚ implementing carbon taxes would not do anything to solve the greenhouse effect. Take cigarettes
