Carbohydrates (glucose, sucrose and cellulose)

Carbohydrates (glucose, sucrose and cellulose) Carbohydrates (also called saccharides) are molecular compounds made from just three Elements: carbon, hydrogen and Oxygen. Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose) and disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) are relatively small Molecules. They are often called sugars. Other carbohydrate molecules are very large (polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose). Carbohydrates are: a Source Of Energy for the … Read more

Engineering Plastics

 Engineering plastics Engineering plastics are a group of plastic materials that have better mechanical and/or thermal properties than the more widely used commodity plastics (such as polystyrene, PVC, polypropylene and polyethylene).  Being more expensive, engineering plastics are produced in lower quantities and tend to be used for smaller objects or low-volume applications (such … Read more

Stem Fibres

Stem Fibres Stem fibers are a type of plant fiber that is found in the stems of plants. They are long, thin, and strong, and they are used in a variety of products, including paper, textiles, and building materials. Stem fibers are made up of cellulose, which is a type of carbohydrate. Cellulose is a … Read more
