Molten glass is viscous like treacle, and on being touched with anything, it will ‘string out’ to form a filament when it is drawn away. As glass is[…]
Introduction Polyester are polymers made by a condensation reaction taking place between small molecules, in which the linkage of the molecules occurs through the formation of ester groups. Polyesters are commonly made by interaction of a dibasic acid with a dihydric alcohol: HOOC-X-COOH + HO-Y-OH → …OC-X-COO-Y-OCO-X-COO-Y-OCO… The formation of polyester was studied by Wallace H. Carothers[…]
Definition of Tie-Dye The results of tie dyeing are sometimes similar in appearance to batik, but the designs are made differently.
