Plastics have been around for a long time now. It has been said that even before Alexander Parke’s major pioneering contribution to the development of plastics from cellulose nitrate in the 1850’s‚ plastic like materials have been in use by mankind for centuries. Now life without plastic cannot even be imagined. Almost every piece we use day to day is either a plastic or has plastic components in it. Because plastics can be made into products of different strengths and flexibility we can find plastic

development of natural fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites. Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) also known as “water lily” is an aquatic plant which is found floating freely in the surface of fresh waters. Its rate of proliferation under certain circumstances is extremely rapid and cause infestations over large areas of water leading to a variety of problems. Hence‚ water hyacinth can be obtained without any additional cost. Water hyacinth is considered the most productive plant on earth as

device. Accidentally‚ we discovered other product okra can produce. Aside from coffee‚ we found out that the seeds of okra can also make tea. Our tea helps improve and enhance our immune system because of the okra seeds itself is rich in Vitamin C. It can also avoid certain causes of coughs and colds. One more thing we liked about this accidental discovery of us is that it is not costly but affordable yet nutritious. Procedure Used Step 1: The okra seed will be dried under the sun for at least

Abstract Background Traditional Asian and African medicine use immature okra fruits (Abelmoschus esculentus) as mucilaginous food to combat gastritis. Its effectiveness is due to polysaccharides that inhibit the adhesion of Helicobacter pylori to stomach tissue. The present study investigates the antiadhesive effect in mechanistic detail. Methodology A standardized aqueous fresh extract (Okra FE) from immature okra fruits was used for a quantitative in vitro adhesion assay with FITC-labled

ABSTRACT For many years‚ the use of natural polymers for the fabrication of packaging materials has been an interesting alternative to replace non-biodegradable polymers which are normal components of these materials. The core problem of these starch based plastics is their hydrophilic character and the fact that they tend to become brittle with ageing. Unmodified starch is too much hydrophilic to be used as food packaging material. Chemical modification must be carried out in order to make them

Coconut water is a good source of the major minerals like magnesium‚ calcium‚ and potassium. It is particularly rich in potassium‚ an essential nutrient; one 8-ounce cup of coconut water has more potassium than a banana. It also contains a variety of trace elements

Review Application and research progress of starch in polymer materials★ Wang Zhi-fen‚ Fang Lin‚ Zhang Ke-xi‚ Fu Xin Abstract: Starch a natural polymer that is characterized by cheap‚ regenerative‚ and good biodegradation is generally mixed with low density polyethylene‚ high density polyethylene‚ polypropylene‚ and polystryrene to prepare degradable materials. In order to relieve "white pollution" due to undegradability of plastic materials‚ starch is mixed with polyvinyl alcohol‚ polylactic acid

SEVEN BENEFITS OF COCONUT WATER BY TOMMY FASSBENDER Coconut water is the purest liquid second only to water itself. It has many health benefits and uses that you probably did not know about. Many persons have gone to the Caribbean ‚ the Pacific Islands ‚ Florida ‚ Hawaii ‚ South America or Southern Asia and have tasted some very refreshing coconut water. The palm trees you have become accustomed to while on vacation are very potent sources of coconut water that has many health benefits and uses
