LE 1 - Contributions of Chemical Engineering in Material Science 2 Flashcards
are the basic substances that make up EVERYTHING
Materials
can be natural - like wood, or human-made - like plastic.
materials
There are now about ___________ different known materials
300,000
stone age
2.5 million BC
Bronze age
3,500 BC
Iron age
1,200 BC
general category
- metals
- ceramics
- semiconductors
- polymers
anymaterial that comprises whole/part of a living structure or biomedical device which performs/augments/replaces a natural function
biomaterials
other types of materials
- composites
- biomaterials
- exotic and strange materials
are combinations of materials
composite
is an interdisciplinary field involving the properties of matter and its applications to various areas of science and engineering.
material science
work closely with process chemists and control engineers to ensure the process plant is set up to provide maximum output levels
chemical engineer
to empower scientists and engineers to make informed decisions about the design, selection and use of materials for specific applications
goal of material science
