some of the applications of chemistry in life

1. CHEMISTRY
IN
EVERYDAY LIFE

2.  As a replacement or reconstruction of the
human skeleton
 However, implants have short service time
and become loose in the long run.
 Some adverse effects of the use of implants
are inflammation and bacterial infection
due to bioincompatability.
MEDICAL IMPLANTS/PROSTHESIS

3.  Uses powdered Titanium (Ti) to be
melted on the surface of the cast
under vacuum and high temperature
electron beam exposure.
 It effectively melts Ti powder without
altering its properties creating a
dimensionally accurate prosthesis.
ELECTRON BEAM MELTING
(EBM)

4.  Production of prosthesis that is
unique to one patient
 Involves titanium and zirconium
deposition to create a surface that is
porous and fibrous similar to that of
the bone to increase
biocompatability.
COMPUTER NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED
(CNC) PROCEDURES

5.  Sports equipment and facilities use materials such as
POLYMERS to increase sports efficiency and decrease
sports-related injuries.
 POLYMER – a large molecule that is made up of
repeating smaller molecules.
 POLYCARBONATE – thermoplastic; has a good thermal
resistance and highly amorphous, which allows light
transparency
- used as a protective sports equipment
such as:
goggles, helmets, sunglasses, visors
SPORTS EQUIPMENT

6. POLYURETHANE – a thermoplastic
characterized by its versatility in form; can be
made into a rigid platform or flexible coating.
- used in layering composition of balls,
in mattings used in martial arts and as flooring
materials
- used in different sports equipment
such as surfboards, rollerblades and sports
apparel.

7. GRAPHENE – an allotrope of
carbon
- has unique combination of
electrical conductivity and optical
transparency, which makes it a good
candidate for use in solar cells
ELECTRONIC DEVICES

8. FABRIC PANELS – used in London
Olympic Stadium in the 2012 Olympics,
which served as the finishing touch of
the stadium
-used as roofing insulation
in the stadium which offered moisture
resistance and structural strength
CONSTRUCTION SUPPLIES FOR BUILDINGS AND FURNITURE

9. AUTO-CLEANING – can kill bacteria
and germ through radiation and
UV light exposure
