Polymer Materials We Take for Granted
Content Developed by Dr Dominik Konkolewicz and Dr Rick Page
This series of videos explores polymers and polymer materials in our everyday lives. We focus on polymers with practical, healthcare and safety related applications. The focus of these videos it to provide background knowledge and information on what are the types of polymers used from commodity and disposable yet important PPE or packaging applications through to high end performance materials or biotech enabling macromolecules. Topics are listed below:
Fits like a Glove: Polymers in Gloves as PPE
Unmasking Polymers: Polymers in making N95, surgical and cloth masks
Polymers and Eye Protection
Polymers for Energy Absorption
Biomaterials. Polymers in Biological Systems
Dental Materials-Polymers in Dental Restorations
