And that's a plastic polymer.

The upper is Nylon 6 that can go back to caprolactam, the bottom, a polyolephine infinitely recyclable thermoplastic.

It's a compound that's found in polycarbonate plastic, which is what baby bottles are made out of.

Fossil fuels are also essential for the creation of plastics and polymers, key ingredients in computers, entertainment devices and clothing.

78. Shape memory alloys and polymers can return to their original shape upon being heated to a higher temperature after being shaped under thermomechanical conditions.

And this is really bad news because plastic is not an inert substance.

When that moves into polymers, you can change the elasticity, the fluidity of the form.

Moreover, most plastic products are made from so called petroleum based commodity thermoplastics. Given that a non renewable resource forms the basis of many plastic products most of which will not last long current plastics usage patterns are not sustainable.

Smart material types include piezoelectric polymers, conductive polymers, piezoelectric and electrostrictive ceramics, electrorheological fluids, magnetorheological fluids, electrochromic coatings, magnetostrictive materials, micromachined integrated devices, and biomimetic polymers and gels, shape memory alloys and polymers.

And also, I thought that there would be synthetic polymers, plastics, embedded in the rock.

It's a high strength polymer.

It begins to melt below the boiling point of water and does not drive off the oily contaminants for which it is a sponge.

This is made bone is made from a mixture of inorganic minerals and polymers.

71. Polymer matrix composite technology is currently more mature than CMC technology.

We see it that way. Plants are busy making long chains of starches and glucose, right, out of CO2. He's found a way he's found a catalyst and he's found a way to take CO2 and make it into polycarbonates. Biodegradable plastics out of CO2 how plant like.

The first step was to select monomers a polymer s building blocks that would be safe in the human body. We then synthesized these polymers and discovered that by changing their composition, we could make them last in the body for a period ranging from days to years.

So language is not so much a creator or shaper of human nature, so much as a window onto human nature.

In the ocean, what is the common point between oil, plastic and radioactivity?

I am passionate about the American landscape and how the physical form of the land, from the great Central Valley of California to the bedrock of Manhattan, has really shaped our history and our character.

The Dirt on Plastic Waste

I design for that condition, biopolymers. It's the future.

Supramolecular assemblies 82. Both natural and synthetic polymers can be designed to form large assemblies of molecules with useful properties.

It's a gas injected polymer chair.

Plastic litter is increasingly believed to be a source of persistent toxic substances.

But the Sargasso Sea, the same way it aggregates sargassum weed, actually is pulling in the plastic from throughout the region.

If this behaviour can be understood and extended to common commodity polymers, such nanocomposites could compete effectively with higher priced engineering plastics and find widespread application.

The statue is the second highest statue of Christ in the world after the famed statue above Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

More widespread use of PMCs will require better capability to predict long term performance and more cost effective fabrication methods.

It's a bio polycarbonate new chair I'm doing in Italy.

In the title, insert AND MIXTURES after SUBSTANCES .

a petting party and a civil service exam.

It actually takes things we would consider waste things like seed husks or woody biomass and can transform them into a chitinous polymer, which you can form into almost any shape.

70. Research on ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), metal intermetallic matrix composites (MMCs) and polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is being actively pursued.

The book itself is a polymer. It is not a tree.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Birds of a feather.

They used to use a plastic packaging buffer, but we were able to give them the exact same physical performance with our grown material.

Biopolymers, these new ideas for materials, will come into play in probably a decade.

I said, You get into biopolymers. They looked straight through me.

This polymer is amazing because it's present in so many different organisms.

The nervous system has plasticity.

The nervous system has plasticity.

It's also very biologically active, as anyone with hay fever will understand.

Whenever possible, refuse single use and disposable plastics.
