Come fare la glicerina in casa - Fai da Te Mania Leggi Sicuramente tutti avrete sentito parlare della glicerina, un composto liquido vischioso impiegato in vari settori dell'industria cosmetica. La possiamo trovare nelle creme idratanti, oli e saponi. A differenza di quello che si può pensare, la glicerina esercita un'azione molto delicata sulla pelle rendendola così adatta alle pelli più sensibili. In questa guida vediamo come fare per realizzare la glicerina in casa.

Livernon. Un broyeur à pédales pour faire du BRF - Lot Jacky Dupéty a découvert le bois raméal fragmenté (BRF) lors de la canicule de 2003, en recherchant une technique biologique permettant des économies d'eau dans son potager. Après s'être procuré des études agronomiques québécoises et belges, mises en application sur le causse, Jacky a constaté que le BRF n'était pas un banal paillage, mais une technique permettant un enrichissement naturel du sol, évitant également des traitements phytosanitaires. Il y a cinq ans, Jacky Dupéty créait, avec quelques amis, l'association pour la valorisation et l'expérimentation du bois raméal fragmenté (BRF). Lors de son assemblée générale, cette association a élu son conseil d'administration et son bureau. Ce fut l'occasion de faire part aux 40 adhérents présents des sollicitations, auprès de l'association, d'organismes professionnels agricoles pour leurs formateurs et de demandes de jardiniers locaux.

Invest in Graphene » SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK) » Page: 1 | Invest in Graphene Of all the companies investing in graphene research and product development at the moment SanDisk is perhaps the one to watch. Ranked second in the Top 20 of graphene patent applicants with the first application only made in 2006, SanDisk is only outclassed by the much bigger Samsung, a company whose 60 applications dwarf SanDisk’s mere 31. As a potential graphene stock investment SanDisk’s shares have nearly doubled in the last three months and shown a 500% increase in share price over the past three years. The second quarter of 2011 produced the best quarterly revenue in the company’s history at $1.375 billion. SanDisk is best known as a global market leader in flash memory storage devices, and for its commitments to research and development, product design and manufacturing, branding and distribution for OEM and retail channels. The company is currently working in partnership with Toshiba in a joint venture called Flash Forward Ltd, with Sandisk holding 49.9% of the company. Google+

poliestere lineare prodotto in natura da una fermentazione batterica di zucchero barbabietola canna da zucchero Carton de pizza et papier aluminium : le four solaire made in USA Les fours solaires sont une alternative aux fours traditionnels. Ils sont souvent utilisés dans les zones les plus pauvres en raison de l’absence d’électricité et de gaz qui sont, généralement, les sources d’alimentation des fours. Grâce aux rayons solaires et à l’utilisation d’une boîte revêtue de papier aluminium, il est possible de cuire n’importe quels aliments tout en respectant l’environnement. Dans ce cas, pourquoi ne pas en diffuser l’utilisation au vu des bons résultats obtenus ? Deux étudiants américains, Edward R. Murrow et James Madison, ont mis sur pieds une sympathique exposition d’inspiration écologique en face de l’Union Square Greenmarket, à New York. SUR LE MÊME THÈME : Acheter en vrac, un geste vertueux pour le porte-monnaie comme pour la planète En se servant de boîtes en carton de pizza et de papier aluminium, ils ont créé de véritables petits fours solaires.

Graphène Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Ne doit pas être confondu avec graphème. Le graphène est un cristal bidimensionnel (monoplan) de carbone dont l'empilement constitue le graphite. Il a été isolé en 2004 par Andre Geim, du département de physique de l'université de Manchester, qui a reçu pour cette découverte le prix Nobel de physique en 2010 avec Konstantin Novoselov. Il peut être produit de deux manières : par extraction mécanique du graphite (graphène exfolié) dont la technique a été mise au point en 2004, ou par chauffage d'un cristal de carbure de silicium, qui permet la libération des atomes de silicium (graphène epitaxié). Histoire[modifier | modifier le code] Le graphène a été identifié pour la première fois en 2004 par l'équipe d'Andre Geim à l'université de Manchester en Angleterre.

bioplastic Experiment Experiment home Objective The objective of the “Bioplastics Experiment” is to show the students the advantages and disadvantages of running a fractional factorial. The students run a 2^k-1 fractional factorial to determine which levels of bioplastic ingredients / cooking method produce the best quality bioplastic. The students break up into four groups. Each group selects a different bioplastic; Milk plastic, Stovetop corn plastic, Microwave corn plastic and Flubber. Equipment - per group Making bioplastics requires various kitchen supplies and some perishable items. 1 cookie sheet (set of 3 for $16.99 , Target) 1 mixing spoon ($1.99, Target) 1 set of measuring cups (set of measuring cups and spoons $9.99, Target) 1 set of measuring spoons (see above) 1 roll of aluminum foil ($3.59, Kroger) Procedure Assign the following tasks to different team members within your team; 1) Measurer (Measures out the ingredients and pours them in the containers.), 2) Mixer/cooker (Mixes the ingredients.

New applications: PLA-wood fibre composites (Published on December 2007 – JEC Magazine #37) Following the presentation “New applications in the woodplastics composites sector: the French example” by the author at the Biocomposites Forum of the JEC Composites Show 2007, new developments, applications and products are now available. Apollor and Rettenmaier have been partnering to develop starch-wood fibre composites (Figure 1). Starch-wood fibre composites Apollor is a technological resource centre that specializes in polymer and composite materials. 80% starch and 20% wood fibres, 70% starch and 30% wood fibres, 60% starch and 40% wood fibres. With a wood-fibre reinforcement, the Young’s modulus of the mix containing 40% wood fibres is multiplied by 6.5 (Figure 2). These compounds (starch + wood fibres) remain 100% compostable and are derived from natural resources. Plant-based polyester-wood fibre compound Using agricultural and forest resources to create bioproducts offers significant environmental advantages.
