What is the phenol coefficient?
The phenol coefficient is a measure used to evaluate the disinfecting power of a chemical compared to phenol. It is determined by comparing the dilution of a test compound that achieves a specific level of microbial kill to that of phenol under identical conditions. A phenol coefficient greater than 1 indicates that the test compound is more effective than phenol, while a coefficient less than 1 indicates lower effectiveness. This metric helps in assessing the potency of disinfectants in microbiological applications.

Why is polycarbonate added to glass?
Polycarbonate is one of those materials that was discovered by accident. A chemist named Einhorn was trying to make cyclic carbonates by reacting phosgene (a very dangerous chemical later used as a chemical warfare agent) with hydroquinone (a phenol used largely as a film developing agent) and got an insoluble solid. Tests at Bayer in the 1950s to find the best phenol led to the discovery the phenol used in epoxy, bisphenol A, was the right phenol to use in polycarbonate.
