The array of medical devices spans a wide range of possible properties and characteristics, including disposable or reusable, rigid or flexible, clear or opaque, good lubricity or good grip, able to dispel static electricity, able to be sanitized or sterilized, biocompatible, antimicrobial, or even bioabsorbable. Plastics, both traditional and new, are being used in a number of medical applications.
- Use the Internet or other information source to identify some of the ways in which plastics are being used in medical applications. Consider prosthetics, implants, patient and surgical apparatus and equipment, and others.
- Using the same sources, try to identify a medical application of plastics that is still in the development stage, and discuss its claimed advantages.

- (b) Which of the following plastic and composite materials processing is most suitable for the application of polymer automotive body panel? Explain how the selected manufacturing process selected can be used to produce the product shown in Figure 1.2 below • Injection Moulding • Reaction injection Moulding (RIM) • Blow Moulding • Rotational Moulding • Thermoforming • Compression Moulding (CM) • Transfer Moulding (TM) • Casting • Foam Moulding SULIT SULIT (BMCG 2323) Figure 1.2 Example of polymer automotive body panelarrow_forwardWhat are the different types of Plastic Materials? Discuss each briefly (at least 4 types).arrow_forwardThe use and applications of plastics in our everyday life cannot be denied. Identify and discuss three specific properties of plastics that has led to their applications in the following fields: (i) Construction (ii) Transportarrow_forward
- with the use of appropriate diagrams/ structures and examples compare and contrast thermosetting plastics and thermoplastics.arrow_forwardWhat factors determine whether polymer behavior is predominantly elastic, viscoelastic, or viscoplastic?arrow_forwardDiscuss the effect of temperature and strain rate on the mechanical properties of polymers.arrow_forward
- What is polymers? Long and clear Explanation thanks. (Topic from Engineering Materials)arrow_forward[Materials Engineering] In a severe fracture, bone plates with screws are surgically implanted to hold the bone in place. Instead of implanting a metallic bone fixation plate, identify a suitable bioresorbable polymer for this purpose, and justify your choice in term of its material properties.arrow_forwardIdentify a minimum of two structural characteristics and two mechanical characteristics that set elastomers apart from other classes of materials (including other polymers).arrow_forward
- What specific characteristics should a polymeric material attain to be safely implanted? Contrast the benefit/risk of synthetic versus natural polymers.arrow_forwardQuestion:What are the advantages and limitations of the use of composite materials in engineering applications.Explain in detail.arrow_forwardWhat are the major advantages of plastic compared to ceramics. Glasses and metals?arrow_forward
