Generally, a plastic with a high degree of toughness is desired in food packaging application. The plastic which is able to resist any breakage under tensile strength is preferred. These can be achieved by exert the plastic films with the characteristics like high tensile strength and high degree of elongation. A packaging material or plastic material which is brittle in natures, and with poor tensile strength and flexibility will have a minimal use in food packaging industry.
Basically, tensile strength can be defined as the maximum tensile stress that the plastic can sustain without being fractured. It is calculated by dividing the maximum load exerted on the plastics during the experiment by the initial cross section of the plastics. A high

It can be defined as the percentage of change of the original length of the plastic sample between the grips of the texture analyzer. In an unwinding process, the elongation characteristic of the plastic is particularly important, as if the elongation is too low, the plastic sample will break due to the sudden imbalance that occurred during the unwinding process. Besides, elongation is related to the flexibility of one plastic film too.
Some errors happened during the test, which may influence or affecting the result. First, during the marking of the plastic film by using pen, some pressure had been exerted onto some of the plastic sample, which could affect the results afterwards. Secondly, the clip which was used to position the plastic film is sometime being not properly clipped, so it could affect the result

The entire sample that had been test is a thermoplastic, were elastic and clear is their properties. But for the PE, have a different with other at polimer structure which is, PEA is more to LLDPE (linear light density polyethylene). LLDPE have no long chain branch but have numerous short side chain where the tensile strength can be increase by apply close pack or crystallise to this plastic. The other sample can be crystallise too, but base on their polymer arrangement is long chain branch make them less coefficiency in increasing the tensile strength. The random short and long branches in LDPE cause the low crystallinity of LDPE (50-70% crystallinity) and low density. The relatively low tensile strength of PE was due to low crystallinity and low molar mass (Gumargalieva&Zaikov, 2003). OPP should have more tensile strength because due to the orientation of molecular chains in a predetermined direction. According to Kirwan& Strawbridge (2003), orientation of plastic film in both the machine and transverse direction could increases the tensile strength of film because orienting the film molecular chain in one direction make the polymer chains closely binds to each other. For based on the result, OPP gives high tensile strength than
Key Resources The key resources that our company will need in order to operate all include products that help make the customized soda concept work. We will need to have a constant supply of co2 water on hand at all times to complete orders. The co2 water will be produced in store so a steady supply of water and c02 will be needed. This will save on cost from having to purchase premade c02 from a third party company. Along with the c02 water another key resource that is needed in the company’s operation is syrup ingredients.
Then it passes through canny edge detection technique. It provides a binary image with wrinkle edges as shown in Fig. 4(a). The white pixels of the wrinkle area give information about wrinkle present in the facial image. In binary image, binary value 1 is used for white pixel, and binary value 0 is for black pixel. So, sum of the pixel values of wrinkle area in binary face image is directly proportional to wrinkle present in the face as shown in Fig. 4(b).
The dehydrated zone of the rind has different optical properties than the rinds of hydration. By determining the degree of hydration, archaeologists can determine how long ago the tool was created if they possess two other pieces of information. The three factors needed to
Enzymes are a form of protein that lowers activation energy and speeds up reactions as a catalyst. They are made by the stringing together of an abundant amount of amino acids and folded into a specific shape for chemical reactions. Turnip Peroxidase is the enzyme used in this lab and is derived from the vegetable. Enzymes are not used up or permanently altered by their environment Peroxidases are found in a range of organisms and function to break down alcohol (H2O2) and creates byproducts of oxygen and water. In this experiment, the reducing agent guaiacol is added with the substrate, hydrogen peroxide, to create water and oxygen.
To recycle plastic one must use low temperatures. Since low temperatures are used residue is still left behind. If higher temperatures were used than toxins would be released. The truth is, plastic does not go away.
Then, by holding the nose of the bullet pointing away from you, the direction the impressions run away from you (either to your left or right) determines the direction of twist. If the rifling impression pattern on the bullet matches the rifling pattern in the barrel of the questioned firearm, the next step is to measure the rifling impressions on the bullet. The lands and grooves on a bullet are measured in thousandths of an inch or in millimeters. One way to measure individual rifling impressions is to use a micrometer, or with advanced technology the majority of crime labs use a comparison microscope; which is two microscopes connected to an optical bridge which allows the viewer to observe two objects simultaneously with the same degree of
Exercise 14: Unknown Identification Lab Report The purpose of the study was to identify the unknown bacterium using various biochemical tests in addition to using scientific methods in determining the outcome of the hypothesis. Each biochemical test will help determine the bacteria based on specific characteristics of each organism. I was giving unknown number 232. The first procedure that needed to be done after obtaining unknown bacterial mixture was to isolate the two bacteria in a pure culture using the streak plate method described in Microbiology Laboratory Manual Eight Edition. The material used was trypticase soy agar (TSA) plate, nutrient plate, starch agar, hydrogen peroxide, iodine reagent and microscope.
Deviant behavior is the behavior that is different from the most powerful norms of the society or can also be defined as odd or unacceptable behavior. In sociological way deviance is simply any violation of societal norms. There are many reasons why a person has deviant behavior which includes biological , psychological and sociological explanations. the most popular sociological theories are Structural Strain Theory which was developed by Robert K merton as an addition of the functional point of view on deviance. The theory discovers the origin of deviance that these are caused by the difference
I had first formal exposure to civil engineering in course “Architecture 1”. This course provided me the fundamental concepts of civil architectural principles such as designing procedure, architectural component’s layouts, functional spaces as well as environmental impacts. To strengthen my concepts I pursued the courses “Strength of Materials”, “Structural Mechanics” which gave me essential knowledge about the external and internal forces occuring in simple structural elements under action of various types of loading as well as fundamental concepts in structural analysis such as modellisation, classification of structures. I gained valuable exposure to the analysis of simple structures submitted to compound loadings by the application of the principle of superposition for such cases as: unsymmetric bending, combined bending and tension or compression, combined bending and torsion, general compound loading. Futhermore, I was fascinated by the force method and displacement method for analysis of statically and kinetically indeterminate structures.
The reason plastic is used in many products is because it can withstand up to tons of pressure per cm3, is cheap, is durable, and finally, there is no worry for discoloring. But these days, plastic is becoming a major problem the world has to deal with. Plastic is thrown into the ocean, and it is breaking down into very small pieces, and killing marine life, as they mistake those pieces to their prey. As a matter of fact, nearly all plastics are recyclable, but it 's the recycling companies ' machines that refuse to recycle that kind of plastic(eartheasy.com). I. Plastic, what have you done?
The package should provide in eco-friendly way (paper wraps only / avoid plastic wraps). Promotion Life is good should come up with a new promotion to attract the customers. Seasonal based product is a smart way to promote the product and gain customers attention. Moreover, introduce Option or customized product for each customer is also a good way to promote the product.
Finding alternatives may be difficult because PVC has a lot of greater features such as being cost efficient, durable, scratch resistant, and formable. The alternative of thermoplastic urethane (TPU) is twice the price, which will increase cost significantly for the company. Herman Miller as a company must not only work to incorporate their new C2C design protocol but simultaneously keep good relationships with suppliers and keep cost

The structural strain theory was developed by sociologist Robert K. Merton as part of the functionalist perspective. Strain occurs when individuals find it hard to achieve cultural goals through institutionalized means (Merton, 1938). This theory suggests that there are five responses to strain, which include conformity, ritualism, innovation, retreatism and rebellion (Andersen and Taylor, 2009). The responses are developed based on two factors, which are, first, whether the individual accepts or rejects the cultural goals of the society and second, whether the individual accepts or rejects the instituitionalized means of achieving them. To understand this theory, we first have to understand what cultural goals and the institutionalized means of achieving them mean.
The former can be heated and shaped and are used in the modern world many times, containing everything from children's toys to toilet seats. Because they can be melted down and reshaped, thermoplastics are usually recycled. Thermoset plastics can only be heated and shaped once, after which the molecular changes mean they are “cured,” retaining their shape and strength even when they are subjected to intense heat and the pressure. Thermoset plastics plays a vital part in our modern world.
