    Of Attraction (IMFA)
    Applications and Effects of IMFA
    On Sports Equipment
    Objectives:
    Discover the applications of IMFA on sports
    equipment
    Get the chemical formula of material used in
    sport equipment.
    Identify the properties of materials used and
    their purposes
    Glimpse on the historical development of the
    equipment
    Find out how materials are manufactured
    What is the IMFA?

    Intermolecular Forces of Attraction


    (IMFA) are the forces which mediate
    interaction between molecules, including
    force of attraction which act between
    molecules and other types of
    neighbouring particles.
    Historical Development of Sports
    Equipment
    A century ago, the materials used in sports
    equipments are from the natural raw materials
    such as wood, twine, gut, and rubber.
    And have advanced to high- technology
    metals, polymers, and ceramics.
    These materials were known during 1970’s
    and have developed to hybrid materials like
    composites and cellular concepts.
    Application of IMFA

    Sport Equipment must be durable, resilient


    and sturdy thus it needs strong Intermolecular
    forces of attraction.
    IMFA that are presented in these apparatus
    should be ion-ion, H-Bonding, dipole-dipole
    and ion-dipole.
    • Strong IMFA makes equipment durable and
    secure the productivity of games.
    • It also minimizes possible injuries for athletes
    and players.
    • This attraction applied to design perfect sport
    tools we use nowadays.
    • Without it, equipment cant be use for itay
    scattered into pieces.
    Archery
    Equipment include: Bows, Arrows, Fletching,
    Bow string.
    Material used: Cyanoacrylate
    Chemical Formula: CH2=C (CN) CO2R
    Structure:
    O

    OCH3 CN
    Application: Used in archery to glue fletching to
    arrow shafts.
    Chemical Bond: Hydrogen Bonding
    Classical Knoevenagel reaction using
    formaldehyde and cyanoacetic ester is
    important step in published syntheses. In this
    first step oligomeric cyanoacrylates, water, and
    byproduct are formed. Alternatively,
    cyanoacrylates can be manufactured by
    ethoxycarbonylation of cyanoacetylene in the
    presence of nickel carbonyl.
    Properties:
    • Rapidly polymerize in the presence of water
    • Rigid, less resistant to moisture
    • General versatility, Fast Cure
    Uses:
    • It bonds substrates including metals, plastic and
    glass
    Weakness:
    • They have poor heat and moisture resistance
    and have relative low peel and impact strengths.
    Swimming. Bicycling.
    Equipment: Swim Goggles, Helmets
    Material: Polycarbonate
    Properties:
    Solid. Insoluble. Durable. High-Impact
    Resistance. Low scratch resistance.
    Uses:
    Capitalize its collective safety features.
    Provide optical clarity as well as shatter
    resistance.
    Molecular Formula: C16H1805
    Hazard: Hazardous to aquatic environment.
    (Acute Hazard)
    Structure:
    CH3 O
    C O C O
    CH3
    Manufacture: It transformed from pellets into the
    desired shape for its intended application by
    melting the polycaronate and forcing it under
    pressure into mold.
    Bicycling. Baseball
    Equipment: Bicycle, Baseball bat
    Material: Scandium(Aluminum alloy)
    Properties:
    Resistance to corrosion
    Rare earth element (Transition metal)
    Lighter than most other metals
    Uses:
    Strengthens aluminium alloys use in bicycle
    frame and baseball bats.
    Prevent rusting of the equipments.
    Molecular Formula: Sc
    Manufacture:
    To produce metallic scandium, the oxide is
    converted to scandium fluoride and reduced
    with metallic calcium.
    History: The 1st pound of 99% pure scandium
    metal was produced in 1960.
    Hazard: Danger flammable solid.
