CONCEPTS OF APPLIED CHEMISTRY LEARNING Objectives: Plastics are nowadays used in household appliances; also they are used as composites (FRP) in aerospace industries. Fuels as a source of energy are a basic need of any industry, particularly industries like thermal power stations, steel industry, fertilizer industry etc., and hence they are introduced. The basics for the construction of galvanic cells as well as some of the sensors used in instruments are introduced. Also if corrosion is to be controlled, one has to understand the mechanism of corrosion which itself is explained by electrochemical theory. With the increase in demand, a wide variety of materials are coming up; some of them have excellent engineering properties and a few of these materials are introduced. Understanding of crystal structures will help to understand the conductivity, semiconductors and superconductors. Magnetic properties are also studied. With the increase in...
