reinforced plastic (GFRP) can be designed in many ways depending upon the requirements, specifications and services. Therefore with variety of tasks, it’s properties like temperature range, electrical insulation, resistance to corrosion and abrasion and flammability also varies. A lot of applications of Glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) need good strength which can be tensile , flexural, compressive or impact depends upon the application. The surface finish of this composite material can be smooth or rough
Reactivity: An element or compound’s reactivity is its ability or capacity to react, or bond, with another substance. As you continue through this course, you will observe and compare this particular chemical property in a variety of scenarios. Flammability: One type of chemical reaction, called combustion, involves the burning of various compounds and elements. Some substances are more
Health (Blue): 4 - Can cause death or major injury despite medical treatment 3 - Can cause serious injury despite medical treatment 2 - Can cause injury. Requires prompt medical treatment 1 - Can cause irritation if not treated 0 - No hazard Flammability (Red): 4 - Very flammable gases or liquids 3 - Can ignite at normal temperatures 2 - Ignites with moderate heat 1 - Ignites with considerable preheating 0 - Will not burn Reactivity (Yellow): 4 - Readily detonates or explodes 3 - May detonate
In 1897, my great-great-grandfather was born in North Carolina. His name was Roy Hudson. He served in the army in World War One and he died in 1960 from a lengthy issue with his heart. His heart issues started when he developed pleurisy, most likely from sleeping on the cold, wet ground while in the Army during World War One. He was only sixty-three years old when he died. Just before he died, he gave his wife, my great-great-grandmother, his glasses, a book, and a billfold. My great-great-grandmother's
properties are)You can identify the physical properties of carbon such as color, hardness, its conductivity, and brittleness from diamond and graphite. Oxygen is also a nonmetal. You can also tell the chemical properties of oxygen from its non-flammability, combustion- supports it, but it doesn’t burn, formation of compounds- H20, C02, and iron ore, and oxidation. The physical properties of oxygen is that it’s colorless, its allotropic forms- 02 and 03, it’s odorless, tasteless, poor conductivity
The natural environment must be restored. Development of the world has seen the establishment and growth of various types of industries. However, even as these industries produce many needs of the world’s societies, they have at the same time produced an incredible amount of wastes that are polluting and harming our environment. As such, modern societies have been forced to think about how to develop indicators to measure and handle these wastes in order to protect the environment and ensure human
The soda bottle is all to common today. It is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a durable yet a feather light product. PET is used in many diverse products, such as polyester fabric, cable wraps, films, transformer insulation, generator parts, and packaging. It contributes to about 6.4 percent of the packaging industry and 14 percent of plastic containers, including but not at all limited to the common soft drink bottle. Making up for 43 percent of those sold, PET is the mostly used soda
Methionine does not actively participate in chemical reaction that occurs at the active site of an enzyme. However, the sulfur atom has potential for oxidation (Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, University of Arizona, 2003). Its flammability likelihood of low, but its combustibility potential can be realized at high temperatures (Science lab, 2013). Although the carboxyl end has a pKa of 2.28 and that of the amino end has a pKa pf 9.21 (Science lab, 2013), the R-group of Methionine
Rare Earth Lanthanides are the second bottommost family of elements on the periodic table. They number 57 through 71. “Rare Earth” is actually a misnomer, because all of these elements can be found in nature except one, which we’ll talk about later. There are only 15 Rare Earth Lanthanides, but they can be found in most metals. The first Rare Earth Lanthanide was ever discovered was in 1792 and was named ytterbite, even though it is not actually a Rare Earth Metal it contained other Rare Earth Lanthanides
