Antoine Lavoisier


Antoine Lavoisier was born on August 26, 1743 in Paris, France. He came from a wealthy family, studied at Collège Mazarino, graduated in Law and later studied Astronomy, Natural History and Chemistry. In 1771 he married the scientist Marie Paulze who was his collaborator, in addition to translating into English the articles written by his husband.

Lavoisier is considered the father of modern chemistry, he showed that in a reaction, the amount of matter is always the same in the begin and in the end of the reaction. In consequence it gives to know the law of the conservation of the matter.
Other contributions to science were the writing in 1787 the Method of chemical nomenclature, the caloric theory and the combustion, and its studies on the photosynthesis and the oxidation of the bodies.

It is very important for me because I believe that the chemistry would not have transcended or reached where it is if not for all its discoveries, research and contributions. Without the theory of the conservation of matter we could not make stoichiometric relations or redox equations.

The best holidays

Image
Really I don't now which are my best holidays because I like all. Always I travel with my family or with my boyfriend or with the two jaja but for me the place I like the most is  Huasco , a little village very cute in the north of Chile rich in trees that give olive. Huasco is 9 hours from Santiago in bus and have many beaches around. Is my place favorite because my grandparents lived there and I go every year on holidays for at least a few days even though they have already died. My family is very big and we always meet at my grandparents' house in "Huasco Bajo" other village but smaller with a few houses. This place have all my infancy, where I played with cousins in the big yard of my grandparents or in the square or in the river. Other place I like is the south of Chile because is very green all, full of flowers, trees, lakes but specially "Pucon" and its surroundings  like "Villarrica". There are many places touristic like "

Nanoparticles

          The nanoparticles are being very useful in the formulation of drugs since they can imitate or modify biological processes and can provide solutions to old problems associated with the solubility, bioavailability, immunocompatibility and cytotoxicity of many traditional medicines. Carbon nanotubes are an example of nanoparticles and nanotechnology, because they have a very small diameter and can be manipulated chemically and physically. In addition, they are used in nanomedicine, principally as support supports and excipients to obtain different drug delivery systems. The administration and formulations of drugs have been revolutionized with the arrival in science of nanotechnologies. The use of nanoparticles in nanomedicine covers the use of these as supports or templates through the functionalization or encapsulation of drugs.            With the use of nanoformulations, a large number of drugs have improved their therapeutic function, reduced the necessary doses, as w

My pets

CALUGA AND GASPI In my home in addition to my human family also lives my dog family. My pets are called Caluga Patricia and Gaspar Esteban jiji They have the name of humans, I know, but that's how they were named, it makes me laugh a lot. Caluga is female and was collected on the street, there is no bitch more tender and cute, is a black dog with brown eyes, on the other hand, this Gaspar which is a poodle toy very moody with white fur and curlers. My dogs always, always, always want to play, not matter the place or hour but also always want to eat, they are like children for my family.  In the summer in holidays I and my family always we go outside Santiago to another city or town or beach but always we travel with my pets. Some people do not like it, is for this we travel to place with few people or where they accept pets. In general my family does everything with my pets, we go to the hills with them and everywhere where they can walk, but when we can not take them,
