How Often Do Nhl Players Get New Gear

involving 21 projects scientists at the UNET V

biodegradable plastic that avoids the danger of environmental sustainability

are incorporated in this edition Award of new ideas aimed at the music category and the environment, in addition to the existing and Technical Innovation, Social and Process Design and Improvement

"Learn Four in a 2x3" "Paths of Carabobo", "Tree Project: community and educational project of tree planting," "interactive Geography," "ECOTECH, educational tool," "educational program to encourage the recycling habit children in special education "and" Bioplastic, Biodegradable plastic " Are some of the 21 papers presented by students of various races on the premises of the University experimetal del Tachira (UNET) contestants for the prize ideas that seeks to promote research and reward innovation in the work of these students.

In one of the new categories such as the environment is the project of "Bioplastic, Biodegradable plastic, created by Manual Rendon, Gabriel Hernández Camps and students Dirley career Unet Environmental Engineering, in order generate a feasible measure to eradicate the environmental pollution from the accumulation of plastic waste in place risk the proper functioning of the ecosystem.

For one of its creators, Manuel Rendon said, "This idea combines durability with versatility, since it must be borne in mind that plastic is a material harmful to nature because it takes about 1200 years to decompose into small particles, causing pollution in the environment. "For this reason, the accumulation of plastic will be in an unbalanced way in the future as in some 100 years according to international experts will be launched at sea or in space.

time research for the project was completed in two years dealing with both the theoretical and practice, using various scientific tests to determine the viability of the product created. So Rendón said "mixed plastic biodegradable polymers with synthetic polymers derived from the crude, capturing the property of the first biodegradable polymer and the strength of the second synthetic polymer. The idea was to synthesize these features to create the proposed plastic. "

Similarly, members of the project was coordinated by specialist teachers in chemistry from UNET subjecting them to laboratory tests, so Rendón said "we worked with high temperatures polymerisation process, scientific experiments that after we check our main objective, classifying it as a thermoplastic material. " It can replace 95% of commercial plastic applications, the commonly used in all parts of general use as domestic, for a biodegradable plastic that can contribute to the environment.

The biodegradation period of this plastic is 10 to 25 years in nature, allowing the disposal of these wastes in a smaller range of time the commercial plastic, which takes 1200 years. Also, after testing these students found that biodegradable is able to resist the action of substances such as gasoline, alcohol, chlorine, diesel and tinner, making it more resistant than others.


On the other hand, according to Ángel Gil, a member of the organizing committee Ideas Award "The goal is for students to participate and go Unet each edition incorporating new students in careers, as this is an award provides a platform for national awards including the Eureka Prize, which in 2007 succeeded in obtaining five awards of the seven projects registered . "Any project can be presented to participate, just have a requirement for feasibility and relevant to the been providing benefits.

evaluation performed by a jury of 15 teachers of different races UNET which take into account creativity, innovation, idea, and the viability of the project, awarding the top three spots with the delivery of money, as well delivery of two special mentions, and Art and Environment Initiative.

Also, students of the "Bioplastic, Biodegradable plastic, expected to provide the advantages of the product to society, because it is composed of readily available materials that are economically low," that future marketing would viable because the costs not represent a disadvantage from the point of view, which favors the replacement of the plastic by other employees at present, "said Rendón.

"In the near future we will do a test to determine the polymers used in more specific applications and daily use and so needed to sell the intellectual property of plastic, and market," said Rendón. Therefore, research efforts are supported daily national and regional level, because they are created to meet needs not only in Táchira, but also internationally, providing solutions for both environmental, economic and social.
