We have all been taught how every object and thing around us is made up of matter and that matter exists in three very basic states which are the solids, the liquids, and the gasses. Even within these solids, liquids and gasses are particles, and it is simply the arrangement of these particles which makes any matter form one of the three states. It is also because the major difference between the three states is how the particles behave around one another which make the transition possible in between one state of matter and the next. In simple words, ...

In 1984, Edward O. Wilson, a Harvard University biologist, noted that human beings have innate and evolutionarily-based affinities to nature, and hence it is not possible to disconnect their subconscious from the natural environment. He coined the term biophilia to refer to this case, in which humans remain always attached to the natural environment. The most compelling reason why humans must affiliate themselves to natures, that is tree and water, is that they are needed for survival. Many architectural designers are being pressured to incorporate biophilia elements in their designs. Trees and the natural environment in general are needed ...

3.1 Methodology

In order to produce PMMA, some steps need to be followed.

PMMA is generally made by mixing 20 cm3 of Methyl Methacrylate monomer with 0.1-0.3 g of Lauroyl peroxide initiator. It needs to be poured into a steel or glass mould and heated up by submerging the mould into a water or oil bath at 100 °C. Once the glycerine stage has been shaped, the mould is put into a cold water bath. 3.2 Source of the material The types of material that would be used for this project is Methyl Methacrylate [monomer] and 1, 1’-AZOBIS (CYCLOHEXANECARBONITRILE) [Initiator] and Lauroyl peroxide (Luperox) [Initiator]. The materials are not ...
