Study Notes
Material Science Focus
- Understanding the relationship between the structure of materials and their properties.
Material Science: Structure and Properties
- Material science investigates the relationship between the arrangement of atoms or molecules within a material and the material's resulting physical and chemical characteristics.
Properties of Materials
- Mechanical properties like strength, elasticity, and ductility.
- Optical properties like transparency, color, and reflectivity.
- Thermal properties like conductivity, heat capacity, and melting point.
- Electrical properties like conductivity, resistivity, and dielectric strength.
- Magnetic properties like ferromagnetism, paramagnetism, and diamagnetism.
Aspects NOT in Material Science
- The social impact of material production. Material science primarily focuses on the scientific understanding of materials, not their societal ramifications.
Material Science: Relationships Analyzed
- Material scientists analyze the relationship between the atomic structure and chemical composition of a material and its resulting performance in specific applications.
