Pykrete (/ ˈpaɪkriːt /, PIE-creet) [1] is a frozen ice composite, [2] originally made of approximately 14% sawdust or some other form of wood pulp (such as paper) and 86% ice by weight (6 to 1 by weight). During World War II, Geoffrey Pyke proposed it as a candidate material for a supersized aircraft carrier for the British Royal Navy.
Pykrete is a mixture of wood pulp and ice that is reputed to be three times stronger than regular ice and take much longer to melt. In this lab students will test the properties of Pykrete and ice to determine if these claims are true.

Dry ice is typically produced in three standard forms: large blocks, small ( or in [13 or 16 mm] diameter) cylindrical pellets and tiny ( inch [3.2 mm] diameter) cylindrical, high surface to volume pellets that float on oil or water and do not stick to skin because of their high radii of curvature.
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO₂). Unlike regular ice, which is frozen water, dry ice skips the liquid phase entirely. It goes directly from solid to gas in a process called sublimation. This is why you never see a puddle of water around dry ice as it “melts!” How is Dry Ice Made?
In geology, petrifaction or petrification (from Ancient Greek πέτρα (pétra) 'rock, stone') is the process by which organic material becomes a fossil through the replacement of the original material and the filling of the original pore spaces with minerals.
Feb 17, 2019 · Dry ice is the general term for solid carbon dioxide (CO), coined in 1925 by Long Island-based Prest Air Devices. Though originally a trademarked term, "dry ice" has become the most common way of referring to carbon dioxide in its solid, or frozen, state. How Is Dry Ice Manufactured?

Aug 8, 2024 · What Is Dry Ice Made Of? Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO₂), a colorless, tasteless, and odorless gas. Unlike typical water ice, which freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius), dry ice is extremely cold, solidifying at -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit (-78.5 degrees Celsius).
