2 types of ceramic I need to know
Glass
Clay ceramics
Name for must glass we use
Soda lime glass
To key things that use soda lime glass to make
Bottles
Windows
3 ingredients for soda lime glass
Sand
Sodium carbonate
Limestone
Steps to make soda lime glass
Mix together sodium carbonate, limestone and sand and heat in furnace until melted
Shape when its cooling into necessary shape
Do we shape soda like glass before or after heating
After
First mic together sand, sodium carbonate and limestone then heat with furnace then shape when it’s cooling
1 key drawback if soda lime glass
Low melting point
(Limits its use)
Name for 2nd type of glass
Borosilicate glass
2 types of glass (their names)
Soda like glass (lower melting point)
Borosilicate glass (higher melting point)
Which out of soda lime glass and borosilicate glass has a higher melting point
Borosilicate glass
(Makes it useful for kitchenware, lab ware and anything that needs heating)
Uses of borosilicate glass (due to its high melting point)
Kitchenware, labware, anything that needs heating
What 2 things is borosilicate glass made from
Sand
Boron trioxide
2 uses of clay ceramics
Pottery
Bricks
How clay products are made
Shaped when wet
Heated in furnace to harden
2 things that make up composites
Reinforcement (contains fibres of one material)
Matrix (Surrounds the reinforcement)
Reinforcement vs matrix
Both make up composite
Reinforcement= fibres of one material
Matrix= outer layer of another material surrounding reinforcement
2 things properties of polymer depend on
Type of monomer
Conditions used to make polymer
