proposed in this work. Plastics are inexpensive‚ lightweight and durable materials‚ which can readily be moulded into a variety of products that find use in a wide range of applications. As a consequence‚ the production of plastics has increased markedly over the last 60 years. However‚ current levels of their usage and disposal generate several environmental problems. Waste plastic disposal and excessive use of fossil fuels have caused environment concerns in the world. Both plastics and petroleum derived

However‚ the animals that live in this beach and in other places are victims of one of the most dangerous elements: the plastic material including its characteristics that are so powerful‚ like: cheap‚ durable‚ lightweight‚ widely available; because if we join them as a group‚ the plastic takes four hundred years for destroying itself.

Investigating the effectivness of PVA and PVAc as base polymers In the production of a polymer ball. Introduction A monomer refers to a specific group of atoms that from a molecular unit. When monomers are strung together like a long chain they form polymers. A good analogy of polymers‚ would be long connections of chains which become tangled like a bunch of spaghetti in a pot. The reason for experimenting with‚ and understanding polymers is because they play such a major roll and are found

When most of us think about oil‚ we tend to think about heating oil for the furnace and about the gasoline and diesel fuel that keeps our cars and trucks on the road. What most of us don ’t realize‚ however‚ is that oil does more than just fuel our vehicles and keep us warm in winter.
