 Explain how the uses of the
following materials depend on their
properties:
Medical implants,
prosthesis
 • Medical implants are devices or tissues
What are medical that are placed inside or on the surface
of the body. Many implants are
implants, prosthetics, intended to replace missing
body parts. Other implants deliver
prosthesis? medication, monitor body functions, or
provide support to organs and tissues.
What are medical • Some implants are made from skin,

implants, prosthesis bone, or other body tissues. Others are

made from metal, plastic, ceramic, or
is made of? other materials.
What are their • Opaque, durable, strong, corrosion
properties? resistance, biocompatibility.
Sports equipment
 • Sporting equipment, also called sporting goods,
are the tools, materials, apparel, and gear used
to compete in a sport and varies depending on
the sport. The equipment ranges from balls,

What is sports nets, and protective gear like helmets. Sporting

equipment can be used as protective gear, or a

equipment? tool used to help the athletes play the sport.

Over time, sporting equipment has evolved
because sports have started to require more
protective gear to prevent injuries. Sporting
equipment may be found in any department
store or specific sporting equipment shops.
 • The materials used in sports equipment
What is sports have evolved from raw materials such as

equipment are made wood, twine, gut, and rubber to high-

technology metals, polymers, ceramics,
of? and synthetic hybrid materials like
composites and cellular concepts.
