application. The plastic which is able to resist any breakage under tensile strength is preferred. These can be achieved by exert the plastic films with the characteristics like high tensile strength and high degree of elongation. A packaging material or plastic material which is brittle in natures, and with poor tensile strength and flexibility will have a minimal use in food packaging industry. Basically, tensile strength can be defined as the maximum tensile stress that the plastic can sustain without

The Life Cycle of a Plastic Bottle The average American consumes 167 bottles of water each year. There are many steps involved in making a bottle of water and throughout the process many natural resources are used. Make a note of how many times the bottle is transported throughout the process and remember that transportation also uses gasoline and releases a lot of carbon dioxide into the air which contributes to air pollution. First, the oil is extracted from the earth Then the oil is

Study Structural materials can be categorized in many ways in many different ways. One of the most common is by the nature of their failure. Materials, such as steel, after reaching their elastic limit, deform plastically before failing. Such materials, where reasonably large plastic strains are observed, are broadly categorized as ductile. On the other hand, those materials that exhibit little or no plasticity are in contrast termed brittle. In structural design, ductile materials are usually preferred

come to mean more specifically a material produced by burning or firing. The term ceramic refers to any product made from a non-metallic inorganic material usually processed by firing at a high temperature to achieve desirable properties. This material is opaque, relatively weak and porous and would be unsuitable for dental applications. It consisted mainly of kaolin. The more restrictive term porcelain refers to a specific compositional range of ceramic materials originally made by mixing kaolin

The Armory offers a Saturday morning enrichment program for students pre-k- 6th grade. These students show up bright and early to participate in an array of educational activities. Onc of the programs is called ‘Around the World in Stories”. This program encourages students to do just that. They begin by picking out a book that encaptures a place somewhere in the world, like the Eiffel Tower in Paris. After picking the book they spend the next hour, and subsequent saturdays, reading through it, painting
