dental 2 Flashcards
3 physical properties of dental material
mechanical
electrical
thermal
what are the different mechanical properties?
strength
hardness
elasticity
plasticity
what are the different mechanical strengths
tensile
compressive
shear
what are the test for hardness
brinell vicker knoop rockwell share A
what does mechanical elasticity test
elastic modules
resiliance
what does mechanical placticity test for
ductility
percent elongation
yield strenth
what do the electrical and electrochemical physical properties mesure
electrode potential
electrical resistivity
what do thermal propoties mesure
thermal expansion heat flow ( thermal conductivity and diffusivity )
atom
smallest electroneutral part of chemical element which preserves its chemical properties
mass number
atomic number
mass- neutrons
atomic- electrons
simple substance
atoms of 1 in the same chemical element
what are the different states of material
gas
liquid
solid( crystalline and amorphous )
7 different crystal lattice
cubic, rhombic, monoclinic, hexagonal, tetragonal, triclinic and rhombohedral
what is allotropy
ability to change crystal lattice depending on the temp e.g carbon- graphine and dimond
what is amorphous
random molecular formation as fluids with high dentisty and vicocity
thermodynaically unstable
when heated it softens lowering the viscosity
