bonds in its structure which allows the compound to form a wide variety of polymers including ABS. This compound is a toxic gas listed as a human carcinogen. Figure 2. Representation of 1.3-butadiene (mw: 54.09 g/mol) Styrene: A colorless to yellowish liquid that produce polystyrene by homopolymerization. Styrene is a derivative of benzene and could be found in small quantities in plants and foods. It is slightly soluble in water and very soluble in ethanol, acetone and carbon disulfide. Its rate of
Pedicle screw placement is one of the most dangerous surgery operations and it could have permanent impacts on patients. Therefore, it causes the inefficacy of treatment or adverse damage to adjacent neurological structures [1-2]. There are two issues are important which should be considered for pedicle screw insertion to guarantee proper anchoring. First one is to select the correct screw size and second is to place it within the pedicle properly [3-5]. Currently, pedicle screw placement is performed
Despite the positive ethical implications of 3D printing in the food industry, there are several negative ethical implications that should be considered as well. Comparisons can be made with the controversies surrounding Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), in which the technology and supply of GMO seeds has over the years been patented and controlled by biotech conglomerates such as Monsanto (National Research Council, 2000). Similarly, the production of raw food materials utilised for 3D food
Introduction The following report discusses how LEGO’s corporate values reflect both its internal and external environments. This is done by identifying the added value that the organization offers to customers which gives them the competitive advantage against their competitors (Porter 2008). In addition, it also explains the core competency of LEGO’s linkages to the functions of their value chain. Value Generally, what attract new customers and keeps loyal customers with LEGO is the building
1.3. An Overview for the Synthesis of Tetrahydropyrans, Piperidines and Dihydro-γ-pyrone Derivatives To build this class of heterocycles, many strategies have been developed over the years. The most widely used methods are the Prins cyclization, hetero-Diels–Alder (HDA) cyclization, oxonium-ene cyclization, the intramolecular Michael additions and ring-closing metathesis. Other strategies include electrophile-induced cyclizations of non-activated alkenes and Lewis acid promoted cyclizations of epoxy
possibility of block copolymer formation, within the simplest case, by introduction of your second monomer in the polymerization mixture giving potential for the preparation of linear block copolymers. For examples, AB diblock copolymers of styrene and isoprene or butadiene, with predictable composition and molecular weights in addition to narrow molecular weight have been synthesized by sequential addition of
Abstract Recycling is a process to change waste materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air and water pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle" waste hierarchy. Introduction We are currently living in what is
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Background Facts of the matter, plastics made products are on our fingertips every day in the form of water bottle, disposable plastic cups, spoon, computer and vehicle steering. Fifty percent plastic made products such as plastic bags, beverage bottles use one time only (Randolph S and Jeremiah, 2009). Nearly one billion people across the globe have no access to clean and safe water and mostly buy water available in plastic bottles (Tiaji, S. B., 2012). The beverage
