Science Investigatory Project How to make a Biodegradable Plastic using cassava starch? ABSTRACT The study aims to produce biodegradable plastic using cassava starch as its main component. Cassava starch was mixed with water‚ epoxydized soya beanoil (ESBO)‚ glycerol‚ and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The mixture was then compressed and tested. Three preparations were made from the mixture. The first preparation contained 50 grams starch‚ 50 grams water‚ 50 grams PVA‚ 2.5 grams ESBO‚ and 2.5 grams

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 to extract starch. Cassava (Manihot esculenta)‚ also called manioc‚ tapioca or yuca‚ is one of the most important food crops in the humid tropics‚ being particularly suited to conditions of low nutrient availability and able to survive drought

Cassava (Manihot esculenta)‚ also called manioc‚ yuca‚ balinghoy‚ mogo‚ mandioca‚ kamoteng kahoy‚ tapioca (predominantly in India) and manioc root‚ a woody shrub of the Euphorbiaceae (spurge) family native to South America‚ is extensively cultivated as an annual crop in tropical and subtropical regions for its edible starchy tuberous root‚ a major source of carbohydrates. It differs from the similarly spelled yucca‚ an unrelated fruit-bearing shrub in the Asparagaceae family. Cassava‚ when dried

Environmental Impact by the Lapita Ursula V. P. Belyayeva Abstract The Lapita initial expansion was around 3500-3200 BP our goal is to investigate what initiated the expansion of the Lapita people from Near to Remote Oceania. By using push factor‚ we believe that the push condition was the over intensification of resources due to population pressure‚ which caused marine‚ agricultural and fauna depression and initiated the Lapita dispersal. From various archaeological studies‚ pollen can demonstrate

Being a land-scarce country of 714.3 square kilometres and having a population density of 7‚257 per square kilometer (Singapore Department of Statistics‚ 2012)‚ every hectare of land in Singapore is extremely important to us. Over the years‚ widespread urbanisation has led to about 90.2% of our land area being developed (Tan‚ 2006)‚ exhausting much of our natural heritage in the process. Due to the limited amount of land‚ our natural heritage is insufficient to provide us with much economical
