Title: Cassava starch as an effective component for Ideal Biodegradable Plastic Proponent: Zhaira Morysette L. Maco‚ III-Narra student Introduction: Inventions have evolved and continue to evolve such that after several years of study‚ research and experimentation reach great developments. With continuing efforts to investigate the constituents of Philippine plants‚ we have pursued investigation of starch of the cassava plant (Manihot esculenta). Cassava tubers were gathered‚ ground and squeezed

that I have for my career. Applying for a place in the Biomedical Engineering (BEng) course at King’s College University will allow me to fully utilize the facilities available to further develop my professional skills such as being able to design‚ develop and test new materials‚ devices and equipment. Having just completed my foundation year at City University‚ my interests were aroused for topics covered in applying engineering practices to the human body. I found myself to be captivated‚ constantly

Chemical Aspects of Life and Spit Lab Formal Report 1. Abstract The objective of the Reducing Sugar Test was to test if the substance has a reducing sugar in it by adding Benedict’s solution and heating it‚ there would be a color change if a reducing sugar is present‚ or it will remain blue (no reducing sugar). The objective of the Starch test was to test for starch in substances by using Iodine. The iodine will cause a substance to turn to a dark blue color if it is positive for starch. The objective

Engineering is and has remained one of the most competitive fields of study due to its limitless possibilities and outcomes. Due to the competitive nature of this profession‚ an engineer has to possess good skill to remain relevant and also to manage the available resources necessary for positive development of the society and also the world. I intend to pursue a graduate program in Industrial engineering‚ a program which encompasses all field of engineering and also explores solutions in all fields

Doctor Gary Hall Differential Equations March 2013 Differential Equations in Mechanical Engineering Often times college students question the courses they are required to take and the relevance they have to their intended career. As engineers and scientists we are taught‚ and even “wired” in a way‚ to question things through-out our lives. We question the way things work‚ such as the way the shocks in our car work to give us a smooth ride back and forth to school‚ or what really happens to an

materials‚ e.g.‚ cellulose derivatives‚ casein‚ or milk protein‚ but are more commonly synthetic resins. In either case‚ the binder materials consist of very long chainlike molecules called polymers. Cellulose derivatives are made from cellulose‚ a naturally occurring polymer; casein is also a naturally occurring polymer. Synthetic resins are polymerized‚ or built up‚ from small simple molecules called monomers. Plasticizers are added to a binder to increase flexibility and toughness. Fillers are added

The Role of Surface Engineering in the Automotive Industry The subject of surface engineering in the automotive industry has developed significantly in the last decade. A large driving force for the need for surface treatments has been energy consumption. 30 per cent of all energy consumed in the European Union derives from transportation activities‚ relying solely on fossil fuels. Due to this‚ and the push to reduce the emissions of polluting gases‚ car manufacturers must produce increasingly

of the plastic materials. Cassava is basically composed of starch. Cassava starch is composed of two components: amylose and amylopectin. An amylose is a long straight chain of polymer of anhydroglucose units. An amylopectin is a branched chain compound‚ also of anhydroglucose units. Because plastics are made of polymers‚ starch is a very favorable raw material in plastic-making. The study was limited to one species of cassava‚ Manihot esculenta. The plastic produced was treated with different amounts
