Structures, Properties, and Uses of Matter

Uploaded by

Madame Ursula

This document discusses structures, properties, and uses of matter across several contexts. It describes how medical implants and prosthetics are now customized for each patient using techniques like electron beam melting and 3D printing. It also discusses how polymers like polycarbonate and polyurethane are used to create safer, more durable sports equipment, and how graphene is being used in electronic devices and solar cells. Constructions materials and methods are highlighted that promote energy efficiency, sustainability, and low carbon footprints. Household gadgets are innovating with self-cleaning functions using radiation and UV light.

serious change through innovation?
Structures, Properties, and
Uses of Matter

a. Medical implants, prosthesis


b.Sports equipment
c. Electronic devices
d.Construction supplies for buildings
and furniture
e. Household gadgets

MEDICAL IMPLANTS
Prosthesis or Medical
Implants

• these are artificial body parts


used to restore the
functionality of body parts lost
due to major injuries or
accidents.
 Electron Beam Melting
(EBM)

• to remedy the adverse effects of


implants, recent developments in
the production of prosthesis or
medical implants include the
customization of bone parts that
are exclusive to the patient’s
need.
• an example of such procedure is electron
beam melting uses powdered titanium (Ti)
to be melted on the surface of the cast
under vacuum and high temperature
electron beam exposure, which
effectively melts the Ti powder without
altering its properties and creating a
dimensionally accurate prosthesis.
 Computer Numerically Controlled
(CNC) Procedures

• it is the production of prosthesis that


is unique to one patient. It also
involves titanium and zirconium
deposition to create a surface that is
porous and fibrous similar to that of
the bone to increase biocompatibility.
SPORTS EQUIPMENT
•To increase sports efficiency and
eventually decrease sports-
related injuries, sports
equipment and facilities use
materials such as POLYMER.
• a POLYMER is a large molecule
that is made up of repeating small
molecules.
Polycarbonate
• one of these polymers is polycarbonate, a
thermoplastic containing phenyl groups. it
is used in shatter-resistant protective
sports equipment such as goggles, helmets,
sunglasses, and visors. It is also used as
body for ski platforms and snowboards.
POLYURETHANE
• a thermoplastic that contains the urethane
(NHCOO) group and is characterized by its
versatility.
• it is used in layering composition of balls, in
mattings used in martial arts, and as flooring
materials for diverse purposes. It is also used
in different sports equipment such as
surfboards, rollerboard, and sports appare.
NANOTECHNOLOGY
• It has been used to attain more
ergonomic sports equipment that is more
durable, yet considerably lightweight and
dimensionally accurate, for athletes to
have better performance by improving
manoeuvrability.
c. Electronic Devices
GRAPHENE
• has a unique combination of
high electrical conductivity and
optical transparency, which
makes it a good candidate for
use in solar cells.
d. Construction Supplies for
Buildings and Furniture
• the trend in these sectors is to
produce products and structures that
are energy efficient, biologically
safe, recyclable and most
importantly, have low carbon
footprint that can lessen the
contribution of greenhouse effect.
• one significant
example of such
structure is the
London Olympic
Stadium, which
was used in the
2012 Olympics.
The stadium is
said to be
“wrapped” with
fabric panels,
which served as
the finishing
touch of stadium.
d. HOUSEHOLD
GADGETS
• some technological innovations
include auto – cleaning, which can kill
bacteria and germ through radiation,
and UV light exposure.
