| Slovakia Along with Belgium was among the first countries to release stamps on International Year Of Chemistry.The Stamps carry the theme of important chemical reaction of life on earth “Photosynthesis”.
|
| The Slovak Chemical Society at the Slovak Academy of Sciences issued stamps to mark the International Year of Chemistry 2011 . The chemical industry in Slovakia is mainly concentrated on petro chemistry, pharmaceuticals and in the manufacturing products of macromolecular compounds. The Stamps focuses on natural chemical reaction essential for human life photosynthesis, which ensures that life on Earth exists.The two stamps focus on the two important chemical compounds water and carbon dioxide which interact in photosynthesis. The Color of stamps reflects two main stages of photosynthesis:light - in the form of sunlight and dark - in the form of blue symbolizing water. Sunlight and chlorophyll are the catalysts of photosynthesis, which results in oxygen and glucose, two molecules of life, which have a vital role in our lives. The green picture shown on the first day cover (FDC),represents the chlorophyll with entering and emerging patterns of chemical compounds, which completes the picture of this unique course of photochemical reactions . The FDC Postmark shows the C60 fullerene,one of several forms of allotropic carbon . Fullerenes have significant use in nanotechnology , which is one of the most attractive technology of chemistry today . Spherical fullerenes are also called buckyballs , and they resemble the balls used in association football. Cylindrical ones are called carbon nanotubes or Bucky tubes . | ||
