I and i

Kevin Barraclough
- 08 Dec 2001 - 
TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Characterization of polyhydroxybutyrate-hydroxyvalerate (PHB-HV)/maize starch blend films

TL;DR: In this paper, a mixture of polyhydroxybutyrate-hydroxyvalerate (PHB-HV) with maize starch at starch contents of 0, 20, 30, 40, and 50% were prepared by casting and morphological and molecular properties were investigated by using Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
