Chemistry Literature Reviews Samples For Students

Scientists are concerned about the lack of student interest in studying science (Dillon & Manning, n.d.). Researchers have conducted various studies. They have determined that the influence of teachers, curriculum, and classroom environment has an impact on student interest. This literature review describes current research regarding this dilemma as well as some recommendations. According to authors Dillon and Manning, “science teachers are made, not born”. This is very important to consider as it speaks loudly about a teacher wanting to teach science. It is better for students to learn science from a teacher that wants to share their scientific knowledge (and any ...

Lehn defines the concept of Supramolecular chemistry as 'chemistry beyond the molecule'; chemistry of the intermolecular bond that includes the functions and structures of the entities resulting from the bonding between multiple chemical species. According to Vogtle and Alfter (1991), supramolecular chemistry, contrary to molecular chemistry, is based on intermolecular bonding or interactions, while the later is predominantly based on the covalent bonding of atoms. In other words, supramolecular chemistry deals with the bonding between two or more building blocks that are bound together by means of intermolecular bonds.
The aforesaid concept bears on the organized entities of ...

Types of Food Molecules

Every individual knows that food contains proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. These substances are the main nutrients and are responsible for energy supply for the body. There are numerous types, some are more complicated, some are simple; some are found in nature, and some are fully artificial. However, they ...

Hansch Analysis

Hansch analysis is used widely in the field of medicinal chemistry. It is the analysis that investigates the quantitative relationship and correlation between the compound’s biological activities with their physicochemical substituents. The global parameters considered in this method include the electronic, steric, hydrophobic, and other effects that use multiple correlation methodology (IUPAC). Application of the Hansch analysis includes the Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR). This application develops correlations between activity of the ligands and their properties. As a rule of the thumb, the Hansch model “gives information about the number of parameters to be selected for regression analysis in ...

In order to allow for free movement of electrons, graphitic carbon materials have a tendency of sharing crystalline domain (Fitzer & Köchling, 1992) for increased conductivity (Walker, P. L., 1973). In the study carried out by (Novoselov, et al.; Bazaroz & Nikolaev, 1989; Liu et al., 2004; Harfanist et al., 2004; Coleman et al., 2006), the use of graphitic carbon in several applications including the next generation electronics, composite materials (Coleman et al., 2006; Chen, I.-H., Chen, C.-Y., & Wang, 2010), activated carbon fibers, fuel cells (Wang, Zhao, & Niu, 2007; Marta, et al, 2008), sensors and batteries (Besenhard, 1999; Hess, Lebraud & Levasseur, ...

Abstract

As the majority of the people are becoming more aware of the adverse effects of petroleum-based products consumption and of the continued diminishing of natural fuel oil reserves all over the world, the search for more environmentally friendly and renewable substitute is becoming the focus of many studies. Such substitute products include the soybean-based adhesives, and soybean-based adhesive bonded wood composites and particle boards. In this study, a “literature review” was conducted in order to identify the many issues associated with the search for a replacement for petroleum-based adhesives. Accordingly, the issues identified are (1) environmental friendliness, such as the biodegradability ...

Frankenstein is a novel written by Mary Shelley. Mary Shelley is an English writer who was born on August 30, 1797. Among her works it is possible to mention The Last Man, Valperga, Lodore and other. However, her most famous novel is Frankenstein. The idea of writing a horror story was proposed by Lord Byron. It was at this time when Shelley started to work at her novel Frankenstein which was written in 1818. The book immediately became a success. In fact, it is still considered as one of the most successful books of the 19th century and there ...

The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games are considered the most spectacular sporting events ever held in the history of sports. This is because of the luxurious and amazing ceremonies together with the elevated standards of competition that ranged from marathon and javelin to yachting. It is considered the competition that hosted most sporting activities in the history or sports. One may ask how the environment in Beijing where the sports took place was. In Olympics, the three pillars are sports, culture, and environment. The environment fared well in terms of the sustainability and also contributed positively to the green legacy ...

Abstract

PEBAX (Polyether Block Amide) is essentially a copolymer that offers the most comprehensive range of advantages among the several thermoplastic elastometers (TPE) that are available today. TPE is popular by the trade names of Vestamid E and Pebax as they are manufactured by two companies namely Evonik Industries and Arkema respectively. There are a number of favorable properties that Pebax use and because of such properties, it is currently being extensively used in a plethora of applications like industrial and medical as well. . Remarkable elastomeric properties, a wide range of service temperature, and in several cases, exceptionally great resistance ...

Education is the key component of human life that is associated with the implementation process of sharing and gaining new knowledge. The value of education in human life is growing, and so it cannot be limited only to the period of studying in the education institutions. This process is accompanied by searching for new forms and methods that promote the correct formation of the world view and build proficient and competitive society. Nowadays education is a complicated and diverse social phenomenon, the scope of sharing and assimilating knowledge and social experience.
Education integrates various types of activities into a ...

Even though fossil fuels and coal mines are still in adequate quantity according to some industrial experts, the earth is experiencing drastic climate change which is commonly believed as the outcomes of mining, tapping, and using coals and fossil fuels to provide electricity to homes and industries all over the world since the Industrial Revolution [7]. Therefore, one of the greatest concerns today is how to efficiently and cost-effectively utilize renewable energy, particularly solar energy, for domestic use. Solar energy is intense heat and light from the sun utilized through an array of different technologies like ...

Introduction

Dietary fiber is a combined term for a diversity of plant matters that are resistant to digestion by human gastrointestinal enzymes. Dietary fibers can be categorized into two major groups according to their solubility in water. In humans, natural gel-forming fibers (gums, pectins, mucilage, and the remains of the hemicelluloses) are soluble. Whereas the matrix fibers or the structural (lignins, some hemicelluloses, and cellulose,) are insoluble, Dietary fiber and whole grains are among the best sources of nutrients including minerals, a slowly digestive energy and vitamins. (Byrne, 2011). They also contain phytochemicals such as carotenoids, lignans, inulin, beta-glucan and phenolic. These chemicals ...
