Chapter 1 Flashcards
Material Science
Investigating the relationships that exists between the structure and properties of materials.
Material Engineering
Designing the structure for produce a predetermined set of properties
Structure
Relate to the arrangement of its interval components.
Subatomic Structure
Involves electrons with the individual atoms and its interaction with its nucleus
Macroscopic
Can see with eyes
Microscopic
see with microscope
Property
Material trait in terms of the kind and magnitude of response to specific imposed stimulus.Generally independent at materials shape and size.
Polymers
A compound of high molecular weight which has structure of chains mad of repeating molecular.
Ceramics
A compound of metallic and nonmetallic elements
Metal
Material composed of metallic elements.
Common Material
Metals,Ceramics, Polymers, Composite materials
Advanced Material
Semiconductors, Bio materials
Smart Material
-Sense change in their environmental and then respond to these changes in predetermined manner.
Composite Material
A material composed of two or more materials from the previous three categories- ceramics metals and polymers.
