International Conference on Organic and Inorganic Chemistry at Edinburgh, Scotland.

From Nov 5-7, 2018, a 3-day International Conference on Organic and Inorganic Chemistry is organized by OrganicChemistry2018 at Edinburgh, Scotland.

One of the sessions is about monomers and polymers.

What Are Polymers?

What is DNA, plastic bottle, and wood all having in common? They are all polymers!

Polymers are very large molecules that are made up of thousands - even millions - of atoms that are bonded together in a repeating pattern. The structure of a polymer is easily visualized by imagining a chain. The chain has many links that are connected together. In the same way, the atoms in the polymer are bonded to each other to form links in the polymer chain.

The molecular links in the polymer chain are called repeat units that are formed from one or more molecules called monomers. The structure of the repeat unit can vary widely and depends on the raw materials that make up the polymer. For example, polyethylene, the polymer used to make a wide variety of plastic bags and containers, has a very simple repeat unit, two carbons that are bonded to one another to form a single link.

Synthesizing Polymers

Polymers are created through chemical reactions known as polymerizations, and the majority are produced through two basic reaction types. The first type of polymerization reaction is known as a condensation polymerization. The second type of reaction is known as chain-growth polymerization.

Condensation polymerizations, also called step-growth polymerizations, occur when two monomers react to yield a repeat unit and a smaller molecule such as water. A great example of this type of reaction is the polymerization of nylon from monomers with carboxylic acids and basic amines. The reaction creates a link between each monomer and produces water as a by-product and is used to produce nylon fibers for clothing.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are a critical component of the effort to develop new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat cancer  and other diseases. "Some people think that clinical trials are the last resort," says Jack Whelan of Andover, Mass., who was diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2007. "I am a survivor of a rare not-yet-curable cancer. Forward-looking science, what is available in clinical trials, was the best choice for me." For researchers and clinicians, trials are critical to determining the potential benefits and safety of investigational cancer therapies  or for understanding if an existing medication could be useful for other types of cancer . Clinical trials are the last step before treatments are made widely available. They come after the completion of basic lab research and testing. Clinical testing in patients is key to understanding how a particular therapy will perform and what kinds of side effects may occur. Clinical tr

Solar Greenhouse

A greenhouse  is a structure secured with a transparent material (glass or plastic) that goes about as a solar gatherer and uses solar brilliant energy to develop plants. It has heating, cooling and ventilating gadgets  for controlling the temperature inside the greenhouse. Solar radiations can go through the greenhouse coating, yet the warm radiations produced by the items inside the greenhouse can't escape through the coated surface. Subsequently, the radiations  get caught inside the greenhouse and result in an expansion in temperature. As the greenhouse structure has a shut limit, the air inside the green­house gets advanced with CO2 as there is no blending of the greenhouse air  with the encompassing air. Further, there is diminished dampness misfortune because of limited tran­spiration. Every one of these highlights helps to maintain plant development for the duration of the day and additionally amid the night and throughout the entire year. To know more: ht

Tuberculosis infection and vaccination

-

Tuberculosis is generally caused by the bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis  which affects the lungs and sometimes affects the other parts of the body. This acts as an infectious disease as about 1% of the world population is affected by this infection every year. They are chronic cough with blood containing sputum, night sweats, weight loss, and fever. When the infection is spread to other organs it may cause a serious impact. Tuberculosis acts as a communicable disease which spread through the air. People with infection  in lungs spread infection through a cough, spit, speak and sneeze. These are mainly found in the people who are infected with HIV AIDS and those who smoke. Deduction and treatment must be done in the early period based on the X-ray and microscopic examination of the body fluids. They can be divided into pulmonary  and extrapulmonary . Pulmonary infection is where the disease spread inside the lungs which causes a cough with blood in some ext
