and digesting polyurethane. The fungus basically eats the plastic and breaks it down into carbon. An endophyte is an endosymbiont‚ often a bacterium or fungus‚ that lives within a plant for at least part of its life without causing apparent disease. Researchers have found the first endophytic fungus that eats plastic‚ and can use it as its sole food source even in an oxygen-free environment. The species Pestalotiopsis microspora is able to survive eating only polyurethane plastic. The species

insulations of this type are glass fiber and mineral wool. Cellular Insulations Cellular insulations have small individual cells separated from each other. The cellular material can be glass or foamed plastic such as polystyrene (closed cell)‚ polyurethane‚ polyiso-cyanurate‚ polyolefin‚ or elastomer Granular Insulations Granular insulations have small nodules which have voids. They are not considered true cellular materials as gas can be transferred between the individual spaces. This can be

Insulation An insulator is something that slows down the rate of heat transfer. The amount of thermal energy escaping from a house can be reduced by using domestic insulation systems that work by reducing the effects of thermal conduction‚ convection and radiation. Heat insulation can take different forms depending on the type of heat transfer involved. The question arises as to which solid material is good for heat insulation. Non- metals are good heat insulators. Examples of non- metals used as

The building was a wood-frame construction with wooden shingles on the exterior walls that also included a flat roof‚ but the interior walls surrounding the stage were staffed with sound proof polyurethane insulating foam. Windows were located on the north side of the building and on the east side of the front entrance. All of the windows had security bars on them (this could be an issue!). The building had only four doors; a front main door‚ a

body weight. Advancement in materials for athletic shoes have led to the use of products called EVA and polyurethane. EVA is light and flexible although it can become compressed in the shoe after repeated use. Polyurethane is stronger and tends to last longer although it makes the shoe heavier than EVA. Shoe companies take advantage of the best qualities of both materials by combining polyurethane in the midsole with EVA in other parts of the shoe. Proper shoe design ultimately results in less injury

Surfboards Surfboards have come a long way to become as good as they are today. Many men have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of developing a better board for a better ride. Advances in surfboard design over the years range from size‚ weight and shape‚ to fins‚ to the materials used‚ to different boards designed for different wave types. Surfboard design has always been a personal thing. Shapers tend to be surfers themselves‚ and board design is as much an engineering act as it is a love for
