2. Application of polymer
 Application of polymer in agriculture
 Application of polymer in electronics
 Application of polymer in medicine
 Application of polymer in automobile
 Application of polymer in daily life

3. Application of polymer in agriculture
 Polymers were first introduce for agriculture in early 1980s.
 Gel forming polymer
i)cross link polyacrylates
ii) cross linking polyacrylamide & acrylamide-acrylate co polymer
iii)starch grafted co polymer
 Polymeric material in and on soil to improve aeration and promote plant growth and
health.
 Synthetic conditions, type and density of covalent bonds that form cross linking…. These
polymer can absorb up to 1000 times their weight in pure water and form gel.
 Plants pots, disposable composting containers and fertilizers bag etc made from
polyethylene,

4. Application of polymer in medicine
 cardiovascular application (polyurethane)
 Silicone rubber rod used for the replacement of finger and wrist joint and knee
joint
 Vinyl polymers and nylon for elbow joints.
 Polymethyl methacrylate used for acrylic teeth.

5. Application of polymer in electronics & devices
 Polymers are normally use as insulator (polyvinyl chloride)
 TV and computer screens
 Computer chips
 Transistors
 Conductive filler like silver have been added to chemical famulation to increase
their electrical conductivity.

6. Application of polymer in automobile
 polypropylene for trim panels and handle
 thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) as impact absorber
 Polycarbonate (pc) for door outer panel
 Thermoplastic Elastomeric Olefin (TEO) for fog light cover
 elastomers for tire
 Automobile bumper (polyethylene terephthalate)

7. Application of polymer in daily life
 House hold equipment. Non stick pan, Cups, bottles etc.( PET)
 Mattress form, furniture etc polyurathin
 toys
 Disposable food packing material (poly styrene)
 Ships, boats
 Air craft
