Tyres, often in direct competition with NR...Introduction to polymers: 1.2.2 Thermoplastics and thermosets - As already stated, polymers including rigid plastics were first developed in the last century from natural precursors. The sealing wax...

Structure 1...What chemical compounds might be present in drinking water?: 2.1.1 Natural nitrogen fixation - Despite a vast reservoir of nitrogen being readily available in the air, green plants cannot use it because of the high dissociation...

...carbon dioxide (CO2), which must be continuously removed. The process by which O2 and CO2 are exchanged between the body and the environment is termed external respiration. On average, an adult takes between 12 and 18 breaths a minute at rest, exchanging more than 8000 litres of air per day.

...carbon or nitrogen) lose their energy and stop moving. The compressive stresses generated in the surface layers improve mechanical and fatigue properties, as well as corrosion and wear resistance...[Images to demonstrate 'Ion Implantation' - see article] Manufacture: Process is not a surface coating process but implants ions below the surface, into the matrix of the...

...carbon-hydrogen bonds – is actually ubiquitous throughout the universe. One of the big questions is whether organic compounds can be delivered to planets to form the basis for life. We are still not sure how life started on Earth. If this did happen, comets and asteroids are good candidates as a transport vehicle. The same story applies to water. We clearly have a lot...
