    Study Notes

    General Directions/Instructions

    • Strictly no erasures.
    • Write legibly.
    • Use a black pen only.
    • Place bags in designated area.

    Learning Outcomes

    • Students demonstrate understanding of non-metallic materials (polymers and composite materials).
    • Students apply material selection principles to address engineering and design challenges.

    True or False (1 Point Each)

    • Polymer is a compound of long-chain molecules with repeating units.
    • Polymers are classified into synthetic and natural types.
    • Plastics can be molded into shapes with little further processing.
    • Addition polymerization is the same as chain polymerization.
    • Step polymerization joins two monomers to form a new molecule.
    • Higher degree of polymerization results in higher strength but higher viscosity.
    • Copolymer of ethylene and propylene has elastomeric properties.
    • Thermoplastics are solids at room temperature but become viscous liquids when heated.
    • Elastomers exhibit high elasticity under low stress.
    • Injection molding forces molten polymer under pressure into a die.

    Identification (1 Point Each)

    • Composite material: A material system with distinct phases producing combined properties.
    • Structural member: A component that must withstand loads.
    • Polymer Matrix Composite (PMC): Non-recyclable, typically a liquid.
    • Polymeric Matrix Composite (PMC): Widely used resins in many applications.
    • Polyimide: Classified as thermoplastic or thermosetting, used in various applications.
    • Engineering polymer: Used in manufacturing parts with diverse applications.
    • Thermoplastic polymer: Large class of synthetic polymers, highly used.
    • Polypropylene: Commonly used commercial polymer with chemical and mechanical strength.
    • Metal Matrix Composites (MMC): Materials with additional ceramic phases for enhanced properties.
    • Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC): Mixtures of one or more ceramic phases for enhanced properties.

    Multiple Choice (1 Point Each)

    • Design Focus: Primarily concerned with product functions.
    • Workable Design: Detailed plan (geometric features, dimensions, materials) for manufacturing.
    • Production Compatibility: Assess production compatibility with speed and quantity.
    • Process Steps: Structured steps converting inputs to outputs.
    • Product Output: Products or services resulting from the process.
    • Recipient of Output: Recipient of the produced output.
    • Process Provider: The provider of inputs into a process.

    Case History Method & New Product Development

    • Safest and most comprehensive approach.
    • Evaluates current product and its manufacturing method.
    • Begins by evaluating past engineering, materials, methods, or competitor practices.
