The document discusses the various applications of polymers in different areas. It describes how polymers are used in agriculture to improve soil aeration and plant growth through cross-linking polymers that can absorb large amounts of water. In medicine, polymers are used for cardiovascular applications as well as replacements for joints, fingers, and teeth. Polymers are also widely used in electronics as insulators in devices like TVs, computers, and transistors. Automobiles incorporate various polymers for parts like trim panels, impact absorbers, door panels, fog light covers, tires, and bumpers. Finally, polymers have applications in daily life for items like non-stick pans, cups, bottles, mattresses, furniture, toys, food packaging, ships, boats

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
