  1. The Badminton Racket Inside and out By: Holly McArthur

  2. There are 3 parts to a Racket Frame Grip Strings

  3. The Frame Materials Graphite Titanium Aluminum Silicon

  4. Aluminum Titanium Graphite Metals mix together to make this racket strong but light! Silicon

  5. Aluminum • Aluminum can • be made • from recyclables • Its natural resource is • Bauxite • Bauxite is mined • in Australia and • Guinea • Canada makes • Bauxite into Aluminum

  6. Graphite • Is mainly produced in China (72%) • Canada produces a bit of Graphite (2%) • Graphite is cheap since there is lots of it • Can be made synthetically • Is also used in lead pencils

  7. Is manufactured in Japan and Russia mostly Is used in aerospace industry Titanium

  8. Silicon • Can be made wherever sand is located • Is mostly made in China and the US • Is the 2nd most common element in the earth crust • Helps make other metals stronger

  9. Grip Material - Polyurethane • Is made of isocyanate and polyol • Polyol is made of vegetable oil (which is made of plant, a renewable resource) • Isocyanate is made of petroleum and vegetable oil • Petroleum is manufactured in Saudi Arabia, Russia, US

  10. String Material - Nylon • Is made of hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid • Hexamethylene diamine is made of natural gas and petroleum • Main producers of natural gas- Russia, Iran • Adipic acid is made of petroleum which is found in Saudi Arabia, Russia, US mainly

  11. Conclusion

  12. Conclusion • You should take care of your rackets since they are made of nonrenewable resources • Once our resources are used up, we might not have any more badminton rackets, or as good as they are now • But it’s up to you, do you want to play badminton?
