Study Notes

Introduction to Materials

  • Materials are the substances that make up everyday objects.
  • They can be natural (e.g., wood, cotton) or artificial (e.g., plastic, glass).
  • Material properties (e.g., strength, hardness, flexibility) determine how they are used.
  • Material science studies materials' structure, composition, and behavior at different scales.
  • Goals of material science include discovering new materials, optimizing existing materials, reducing environmental impact, and lowering production costs

Kinds of Materials

  • Natural materials: Materials made by nature (organic or inorganic).
  • Synthetic materials: Materials made by humans using organic and inorganic substances.

Synthesis

  • A chemical reaction where two or more substances combine to form a new substance.

Catalysts

  • Substances that affect the rate of material reactions.
  • Positive catalysts: Increase reaction rate by lowering activation energy.
  • Negative catalysts (inhibitors): Decrease reaction rate by increasing activation energy.

Types of Catalysis

  • Positive catalysts: Reduce the activation energy required for a reaction to occur.
  • Negative catalysts: Increase the activation energy required for a reaction to occur.

Kinds of Catalysts

  • Heterogeneous: Catalyst exists in a different phase than the reactants.
  • Adsorptive: Reactant molecules adsorb (bind) to the catalyst surface.
  • Homogeneous: Catalyst exists in the same phase as the reactants.
  • Acid-base catalysis: Material catalyzed by an acid (H+) or base (OH-).
  • Specific acid catalysis: Catalysis by a specific acid.
  • General acid catalysis: Catalysis by any acid
  • Organometallic catalysis: Catalyst involves organometallic compounds.
