Determining whether a plastic is polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) can often be done through simple tests due to their distinct physical and chemical properties. One common method is the float test in water: since polyethylene has a density lower than water (0.91-0.96 g/cm³), it will float, whereas polypropylene, with a density just above water's (0.855-0.946 g/cm³), may also float but less buoyantly, making this test less definitive. A more accurate approach is the burn test, where polyethylene burns with a blue base and a yellow tip flame, dripping while burning and smelling of wax. Polypropylene also burns but with a lesser or no drip, and emits a smell similar to that of kerosene or motor oil. Always take safety precautions when performing the burn test. Ultimately, while these methods can offer clues, precise identification may require professional analysis techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic polymer known for its wide array of applications, especially in the packaging and textile industries due to its excellent film-forming, emulsifying, and adhesive properties. Despite being synthetic, PVA is notably biodegradable under certain conditions, primarily those involving microbial activity. Several studies have demonstrated that specific fungal species can degrade PVA, utilizing it as a carbon source. Fungi like Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Fusarium have been reported to possess this ability, illustrating a biodegradation process facilitated by fungal enzymes. In environments rich in PVA, these fungi can see facilitated growth, as the polymer provides a consumable material for energy and growth. However, it's important to note that not all fungi can degrade PVA, and the process can depend heavily on factors such as the presence of specific microorganisms, temperature, pH, and the concentration and chemical structure of the PVA material. As such, while PVA can support the growth of certain fungal species by serving as a food source, this is not universally applicable to all fungi or environmental conditions.
Fiberglass resin and cloth are commonly sought materials for various projects including boat building, automotive repairs, and craft applications. You can find these materials at specialty marine supply stores, automotive parts stores, and large home improvement retailers like Home Depot or Lowe’s. Additionally, online marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay offer a wide range of options for both fiberglass resin and cloth, catering to different grades and sizes to suit specific project needs. It's advisable to check product reviews and possibly consult with specialists in the stores to ensure you get the right type of resin and cloth for your project.
