Our survival will depend on ensuring that our
students are able to weigh the advantages of SET Chemistry in particular - against the disadvantages
This delicate balancing act will have to be addressed
Let’s hope our children can do it better than us

limitations
The limit to the strength of a particular material is
the Defect
and how they may be overcome

Avogadro Number
Applications
Need a set of real examples
From say the polymer industry production
aerated foams
Anticancer Drugs
Study of electrolysis on cells
 Recognition of platinum toxicity
 Test on cancer cells
 100 year-old platinum
 Anti Cancer drugs

Key issue for me is how to develop the seamless subliminal
understanding of chemistry as a manifestation of molecular
(nanoscale) behaviour
A set of modules on the Key bases
How Chemistry got where it is
Focus on the method whereby the information was obtained in
