Common Chemicals In Science

Chemistry, along with chemical engineering have given us many different products based on various chemicals that we use on a daily basis. Many of you are probably not aware that you use some pretty interesting compounds relatively often. Here we will mention two relatively common chemicals: hydrogen peroxide and acetone. › Continue reading

Materials Science – Self Darkening Materials

Self darkening glass has been and still is one of the more interesting inventions that came from the domain of chemistry as a science, along with materials science. Although today there are also lenses made of plastic, here we will mention the early versions of lenses used in optics, that were bassed on glass as the primary material.

This type of self darkening glass basically works by reacting to ultraviolet rays that come from the sun. › Continue reading

Silver – the chemical element of mirrors

Mirror is an object with at least one polished, and because of that, specularly reflective sufrace. Mirrors are usually manufactured by applying a reflective coating to a suitable substrate. The most common substrate that is used today is glass, because of its transparency, ease of fabrication and rigidity. › Continue reading
