What Is a Biopolymer? It is a polymer that is developed from living beings. It is a biodegradable chemical compound that is regarded as the most organic compound in the ecosphere. The name “Biopolymer” indicates that it is a bio-degradable polymer. Natural and synthetic polymers Example of Biopolymer Some Biopolymer examples are Proteins Carbohydrates DNA RNA Lipids Nucleic acids Peptides Polysaccharides (such as glycogen, starch and cellulose)       The most common biopolymer is Cellulose. It is also the most abundant organic compound on this planet. It comprises of 33% of all plant component on Earth. Biopolymer Classification There are four main types of Biopolymers. These are Sugar based Biopolymers Starch or Sucrose is used as input for manufacturing Polyhydroxibutyrate. Sugar based polymers can be produced by blowing, injection, vacuum forming and extrusion. Lactic acid polymers (Polyactides) are created from milk sugar (lactose) that ...

uses of orange peels. WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR ORANGE PEELS? DO YOU JUST THROW THEM AWAY?

Coca-cola and milk mixture.        Coca-cola, like many soft drinks, use a significant amount of Phosphoric acid(H3PO4) to impart an acidic taste while stifling the growth of molds and bacteria in the drink.   When you add milk to coca-cola or any other drink with phosphoric acid, results into layers which form a sewer liquid at the top and a sandy gravel residue after adding the milk into it and kept for about 6hours.   This is as a result of the phosphate ions from the phosphoric acid which binds with the calcuim molecules in the milk.  Here is the chemical equation  for the reaction.             3Ca + 2H3PO4---> Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2 Result formed after kept for few hours. The resulting compound is Tricalciumphosphate (Ca3(PO4)2which is heavy combination of two phosphate ions and three calcium ions. That is why it sinks to the bottom. The hydrogen gas that is produced floats to the top of the cle...
