C2- Material Choices
  1. Natural and Synthetic Materials
    1. All materials are made up of Chemicals
      1. Some materials occur naturally
        1. Most materials are synthetic
        2. Materials, Properties and Uses
          1. Different materials have different properties
            1. The possible uses for a material depend on its propeties
              1. A product's properties depend on the materials it's made from
                1. Asses the suitability of different materials
                2. Uses of Crude Oil
                  1. Crude oil is a mixture of Hydrocarbons
                    1. Hydrocarbon Properties change as the chain gets longer
                      1. Crude oil is separated by fractional distillation
                        1. Crude oil has various uses
                        2. Polymerisation
                          1. Polymerisation means loads of small molecules link together
                            1. There are lots of different types of polymers
                              1. Polymers have replaced natural materials for some uses
                              2. Structure and Properties of Polymers
                                1. A polymer's properties decide its uses
                                  1. Its properties depend on how the molecules are arranged and held together
                                    1. Polymers can be modified to give them different properties
                                    2. Nanotechnology
                                      1. Nanomaterials are very small
                                        1. Nanoparticles are often designed for particular use
                                          1. Used to modify particles of materials
                                            1. The effects on health are not fully understood
