Carbon disulfide (CS2) is a colorless liquid with a pleasant odor that is like the smell of chloroform. It has a melting point of -111oC and a boiling point of 46o, and a density of 1250kg/m3 at room temperature. The impure carbon disulfide that is usually used in most industrial processes is a yellowish liquid with an unpleasant odor, like that of rotting radishes, tha ...

Cellophane noodles (also known as bean threads, bean thread noodles or glass noodles), are a type of clear Asian noodle made from mung bean starch, water, and sometimes also other ingredients including potato starch. In Chinese, they are called 绿豆面 (lǜ dòu miàn; "mung bean noodles"; literally "green bean noodles"), or 粉丝 (fěn sī). They are generally sold in dried form, boiled to reconstitute, then used in soups, stir fried dishes, or spring rolls. They are called "cellophane noodles" because of ...

Viscose is a viscous organic liquid used to make rayon and cellophane. Cellulose from wood or cotton fibres is treated with sodium hydroxide, then mixed with carbon disulfide to form cellulose xanthate, which is dissolved in more sodium hydroxide. The resulting viscose is extruded into an acid bath through a slit to make cellophane, or through a spinneret to make viscose rayon (sometimes simply called viscose). The ...

Cellulose (C6H10O5)n is a long-chain polymer polysaccharide carbohydrate, of beta-glucose. It forms the primary structural component of plants and is not digestible by humans. Cellulose - History and Applications. Cellulose is a common material in plant cell walls and was first noted as such in 1838. It occurs naturally in almost pure form only in cotton fiber; in combination with lignin and any hemicellulose, it is found in all plant material. Cellulose is the mo ...

Jam is a type of fruit preserve made by boiling fruit with sugar to make an unfiltered jelly. Jam is often spread on bread and also as a culinary sweetener, for example in yogurt. The use of cane sugar to make jam and jelly can be traced back to the 16th century when the Spanish came to the West Indies, where they preserved fruit, but the Greek technique of preseving quinces by boiling them in honey was included in the Roman cook ...

Plastic is a term that covers a range of synthetic or semisynthetic polymerization products. They are composed of organic condensation or addition polymers and may contain other substances to improve performance or economics. There are few natural polymers generally considered to be "plastics". Plastics can be formed into objects or films or fibers. Their name is derived from the fact that many are malleable, having the property of plasticity. Plastics are designed with immense variation in properties such as heat tolerance, hardness, ...

Birefringence, or double refraction, is the decomposition of a ray of light into two rays (the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray) when it passes through certain types of material, such as calcite crystals, depending on the polarization of the light. This effect can occur only if the structure of the material is anisotropic. If the material has a single axis of anisotropy, (i.e. it is uniaxial,) birefringence can be formalised by assigning two different refractive indices to the material for diff ...

Bridgwater in Somerset, England, is a market town, the administrative centre of the Sedgemoor district, and the leading industrial town in the county. Bridgwater is located on the major communication routes through South West England, between two junctions of the M5 motorway and on the edge of the Somerset Levels. It is thought that the town was originally called Brigg, meaning Quay. In the Doomsday Book the town is listed as Brugie, while Brugia was also used. After the Norman invasion the land was given to Walter Douai (a Nor ...

Lucozade Energy is an energy drink containing glucose syrup and caffeine. First manufactured in England in 1927 as Glucozade, the name changed to Lucozade in 1929. It was initially marketed as an aid to convalescence. For many children Lucozade was seen as a special treat to offset the discomfort and distress of illness. For others it was less welcome than the illness. It was sold in glass bottles with a yellow cellophane wrapper. The brand is still marketed this way in Africa, claiming to aid recovery from numerous conditions as diverse as measles and colds. It taste ...

Albers was born Annelise Else Frieda Fleischmann in Berlin. Her mother was from an aristocratic family in the publishing industry and her father was a furnituremaker. She painted during her youth and studied under an impressionist from 1916 to 1919, but was very discouraged from continuing after a meeting with artist Oskar Kokoschka, who upon seeing a portrait of hers asked her sharply "Why do you paint?" Albers attended the Kunstgewerbeschule in Hamburg for only two months in 1920, though eventually made her way to ...

Cellulose is a common material in plant cell walls and was first noted as such in 1838. It occurs naturally in almost pure form only in cotton fiber; in combination with lignin and any hemicellulose, it is found in all plant material. Cellulose is the most abundant form of living terrestrial biomass (R.L. Crawford 1981). Cellulose, especially cotton linters, is used in the manufacture of nitrocellulose, historically used in smokeless gunpowder. Some animals, particularly ruminants and termites, can digest cellulose with t ...

Other plastics emerged in the prewar period, though some would not come into widespread use until after the war. By 1936, American, British, and German companies were producing polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), better known as "acrylic". Although acrylics are now well known for their use in paints and synthetic fibers, such as "fake furs", in their bulk form they are actually very hard and more transparent than glass, and are sold as glass replacements under trade names such as "Plexiglas" and "Lucite". Plexiglas was used to build aircraft canopies during ...

Pink Floyd - Syd Barrett led years: 1965-1968. Pink Floyd evolved from an earlier band, formed in 1964, which was at various times called Sigma 6, The Meggadeaths, The Screaming Abdabs, and The Abdabs (see Band members for previous line-ups). When this band split up, some of its members - guitarist Bob Klose, bass player Roger Waters, drummer Nick Mason, and future keyboardist Rick Wright, who at this point played primarily wind instruments - formed a new band called Tea Set. A short time after their formation, they were joined by guitarist Syd Barrett, who ...
