This document provides information about electrostatic discharge and ESD safe products from Alkon. It begins by explaining that static electricity is commonly generated through everyday actions like walking and can damage electrostatic sensitive devices if a discharge occurs. It then describes different material properties for controlling static electricity generation. The rest of the document summarizes Alkon's line of ESD safe PCB carriers, including adjustable and fixed carriers available in conductive and non-conductive options, as well as accessories like guides, handles, and fittings.
The document summarizes the process of obtaining plastics from raw materials through synthesis of monomers and polymers, incorporation of additives, and various shaping methods like thermocompression, extrusion molding, and blow molding. It also outlines the key physical, mechanical, chemical, and biological properties of plastics, including their density, elasticity, permeability, combustibility, and recyclability. Plastics are classified as thermosetting, thermoplastic, or elastomers depending on their state and temperature tolerance.

También indica que en 2013 los smartphones superarán a los ordenadores de escritorio y que el iPad tiene actualmente un procesador más potente que el ordenador de defensa estadounidense de 1965.
The document provides instructions for viewing a slideshow presentation on light and living things. It explains how to advance slides, access resources and lessons, and exit the slideshow. The presentation covers the electromagnetic spectrum, interactions of light with matter like reflection and refraction, and how lenses refract light to form images.
The document discusses the challenges of plastic recycling and opportunities for growth. It notes that only a small percentage of plastics are currently recycled due to challenges such as the chemical properties of some plastics and the high costs of recycling relative to producing new plastic. However, recycling plastic bottles can provide energy savings. The document recommends increased government legislation and standards, manufacturer design of recyclable products, and collaboration across industries to support plastic recycling growth.
The document discusses how plastics help reduce climate change in three main ways:
1) Plastic products require less energy to produce and transport compared to alternative materials, saving significant amounts of greenhouse gas emissions over their lifetime.
2) Plastics enable lighter, more efficient products and packaging that use less raw materials and energy. Their widespread use has avoided hundreds of millions of tons of CO2 emissions annually.
3) Recovery of plastic waste through recycling or energy recovery prevents emissions from landfilling and provides energy sources with lower carbon footprints than other materials. Substituting plastics could increase global emissions by hundreds of millions of tons of CO2 per year.

Plastics are synthetic materials made from organic polymers that can be molded and set into rigid or elastic forms. Plastics are used widely but their production and disposal negatively impact the environment and health. In the future, if plastic pollution continues unchecked, people may rely only on plastic for daily needs like drinking, eating, transportation, recreation, and more. The document outlines various ways individuals can reduce plastic use like bringing reusable bags for shopping, refusing plastic straws, and choosing compostable or recyclable items over single-use plastics. Strong action is needed now to curb the plastic problem and protect the environment.
The document discusses several disadvantages of plastic bottles including that they take 500 years to decompose, are difficult to recycle as most plastic cannot be recycled, are meant for single use and not reuse, and are produced from non-renewable resources like oil. It provides tips for reducing plastic usage by choosing glass or tin containers when possible and reusing water bottles. The document also discusses how scientists are working on producing green polymers from post-consumer plastics to reduce dumping in landfills and the benefits of recycling plastics.
The document discusses the manufacturing process and types of plastics. It provides details on four main steps in plastic production: acquiring raw materials, polymer synthesis, compounding, and molding. It also describes the two main types of plastics - thermoplastics and thermosets. Thermoplastics soften when heated and harden when cooled, allowing them to be remolded. Thermosets form permanent chemical bonds when cured. Common plastics like polyethylene, PVC, polystyrene, bakelite and formica are explained. Advantages include lightweight and durable properties, while disadvantages include non-biodegradability and environmental pollution from production and disposal.
Thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics are the two main types of plastics. Thermoplastics can be remelted and reshaped, while thermosetting plastics solidify permanently after heating. The document then provides examples of how recycled plastic bottles are used in various applications, including clothing, construction materials, vehicles, and more. Recycling plastic saves energy and keeps waste out of landfills and oceans.
The document discusses the introduction and importance of plastics. It describes how plastics have replaced natural materials in many applications due to their light weight and ability to be easily molded. The document then covers the characteristics of plastics, common additives used in plastics like plasticizers, fillers, stabilizers and lubricants. It also discusses the different categories of plastics and provides examples of common uses of plastics in various industries.
This document discusses how collaboration between e-waste recyclers and plastics processors like MBA Polymers can create a closed loop supply cycle for plastics. It outlines the raw materials sourced from e-waste, the separation and recycling processes, and the production of high-quality recycled plastic pellets and compounds. Working together across global operations allows consistent supply of recycled plastics to electronics brands, minimizing waste and energy usage compared to alternative disposal methods like landfilling or incineration.

1) PVC or polyvinyl chloride plastic is made through a process of polymerization where vinyl chloride monomers combine to form long chains called polymers.
2) Pure PVC resin is modified through formulation, which involves adding additives like heat stabilizers, lubricants, fillers and pigments to offset undesirable properties like poor heat stability and weatherability.
3) The end product of formulation is a recipe customized for the intended use, such as window extrusions. JELD-WEN uses a 7 step process of mixing ingredients according to their recipe to create PVC compound.
Polyethylene was first synthesized in 1898 by German chemist Hans von Pechmann by accident while heating diazomethane. In 1933, Reginald Gibson and Eric Fawcett at ICI Laboratories synthesized polyethylene as it is known today. Polyethylene has several characteristics including being an excellent electrical insulator, transparent or opaque, resistant to low temperatures, hygienic and safe, inert to chemical attack, an excellent moisture barrier, and economic. Polyethylene has many uses such as bags, coating ditches, food and industrial packaging, disposable nappies, serum bags, containers, pipes, bottles, and irrigation pipes. Polyethylene is recyclable and can be melted and transformed into new products like
Plastics are synthetic polymers that are durable, lightweight and inexpensive materials. However, they persist in the environment for centuries and have caused widespread pollution. Only a small percentage of plastics are recycled each year, with the rest accumulating in landfills and oceans. This poses threats to wildlife through entanglement and ingestion of plastic debris. Reducing plastic use and improving waste management strategies are needed to curb further environmental damage.
This presentation talks of the (ab)use of plastics in the modern-day world, creating issues for us, and environment as a whole. The much-evident phenomena of global warming is also a consequence of this, along with several other factors. How? It is discussed in this presentation...
Portugal is located in southwestern Europe, bordering Spain. It has a population of around 10 million people and its capital and largest city is Lisbon, located on the Tagus River. Portugal has a long coastline facing the Atlantic Ocean and enjoys a temperate climate, influenced by the Atlantic winds.
