米兰ac体育?

Photograph of beer

Foam gushes out when you shake a bottle or a can of beer and open it.

This occurs because the carbon dioxide that had dissolved 米兰ac体育 beer gasifies and escapes. 米兰ac体育 case of carbon dioxide, it reaches the limit of dissolution, or saturation, at about 0.2% in water and 0.17% in beer, at a temperature of 15oC and 1 atmosphere pressure. In reality, however, beer contains nearly 0.5% carbon dioxide. The state is referred to as oversaturation, which is highly unstable, and the gas contained 米兰ac体育 liquid tends to escape easily. However, beer remains relatively stable even when it contains an oversaturated amount of carbon dioxide. The reason is believed to be that colloidal substances contained 米兰ac体育 beer adsorb the carbon dioxide. When the beer is shaken or given a shock, the stable state is broken and the gas gushes out.

It is foamed plastics that make use of these phenomena to encapsulate air into them. By encapsulating 米兰ac体育 into plastics, the weight can be reduced compared to plastics of the same volume. 米兰ac体育 contained also provides heat-insulating and cushioning properties.

Foaming refers to

The volume is expanded using air bubbles. This enables a rather lightweight material to be created even when it occupies a large volume. Also, 米兰ac体育 layer adds heat-insulating and shock-absorbing (cushioning) properties.
