It's the Rheo Thing: My only political comment and it's not political at all

http://www.rheothing.com/2008/08/my-only-political-comment-and-its-not.html

Everything flows, but only the macromolecules are worth the time. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. My only political comment and it's not political at all. Flat out, politics will not be a topic of discussion on this blog, but there is one blog that I want to mention for having an unusually rational look at the daily polling results and predicting the Electoral College Results. That decide the election, not nationwide polling. The site is FiveThirtyEight.com. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). One of last we...

It's the Rheo Thing: Accelerated Aging - Getting Bad Data Even Faster - 1st in a Series

http://www.rheothing.com/2008/07/accelerated-aging-getting-bad-data-even.html

Everything flows, but only the macromolecules are worth the time. Monday, July 14, 2008. Accelerated Aging - Getting Bad Data Even Faster - 1st in a Series. I say "could" for good reason. This testing is far more complicated than it appears (my employer does lots work for people that don't do their accelerate aging properly). All the pitfalls are too numerous to mention, but one for starters:. 1) Acceleration of the wrong failure mechanism. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe in a reader. 25 ye...

https://theorganicsolution.wordpress.com/2014/06/26/realtimechemcarnival-2014-day-2-and-3-roundup

Random musings about chemistry from the real world. June 26, 2014. Realtimechemcarnival 2014 Day 2 and 3 Roundup. This year’s blog carnival has shone the light on a few chemistry blogs that I previously did not know existed. It is great to see so many new (to me) bloggers in the chem-blogosphere. Keep it up all. The more the merrier! Here are the posts from Tues 24th and Weds 25th June. 1) Tom ( @TRBranson. Started us off with his awesome take on the. Thanks for sharing, Tom. 2) Jess ( @chemicaljess.

What have I learnt from post doc-ing? – The Organic Solution

https://theorganicsolution.wordpress.com/2014/11/06/what-have-i-learnt-from-post-doc-ing

Random musings about chemistry from the real world. November 6, 2014. What have I learnt from post doc-ing? Helping students is fun. 8211; When I first became a postdoc, I was worried about students asking me questions and me not knowing the answer. It turns out that I knew more than I think I did. There were plenty of times that I didn’t know the answer, but I gained enough experience to point the student in the right direction. I became a skilled technician. I can write half decent prose, much faster.

The Organic Solution – Page 2 – Random musings about chemistry from the real world

https://theorganicsolution.wordpress.com/page/2

Random musings about chemistry from the real world. December 12, 2013. My top 10 chemistry papers of 2013. Having already contributed to the top 10 chemistry blog posts of 2013 over at. I thought I would highlight my top 10 chemistry publications of the year here. Current trendy chemistry seems to be nano-blah blah and MOFs but I am a flow/organic/process chemist so papers on these themes appear on the list below. X-ray analysis using porous complexes. In one of those. Was pretty darn impressive! Is a gr...

My allergy – Nail Polish – The Organic Solution

https://theorganicsolution.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/my-allergy-nail-polish/comment-page-1

Random musings about chemistry from the real world. September 26, 2012. My allergy – Nail Polish. Many brands of nail polish are now water-based but the majority of nail polishes contain nitrocellulose dissolved in butyl acetate which is considered less environmentally friendly. Magnus Levy was the first person to prepare a synthetic material which formed a resin by condensation of formaldehyde and toluenesulfonamide in 1893. Actas Dermosifiliogr., 2009, 100, 53 60.

Elemental chemistry – The Organic Solution

https://theorganicsolution.wordpress.com/2014/05/13/elemental-chemistry

Random musings about chemistry from the real world. May 13, 2014. I thought I would interrupt this unplanned blog hiatus with a post about elements, which was inspired by a Twitter conversation with Dr Tom. Which elemental form of the. Have you used in the lab? I believe my number is a lowly 10 although I am sure I have forgotten some. Hydrogen (H), carbon (C), oxygen (O3), fluorine (F2), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), bromine (Br2), iridium (Ir), tin (Sn), iodine (I2). This entry was posted in Chemistry.

It's the Rheo Thing: Polydopamine

http://www.rheothing.com/2015/07/polydopamine.html

Everything flows, but only the macromolecules are worth the time. Thursday, July 30, 2015. One of the more fascinating puzzles in contemporary polymer science is polydopamine. As you might guess, this is made from polymerizing dopamine, a fairly simple molecule:. Even though this monomer has been polymerized and extensively studied for 8 years, there still is disagreement on what the structure of the polymer is. And this has nothing. Look at this rogues gallery of structures that have been proposed:.
