Properties
Physical
Density
Is a measure of mass per unit of volume. ... The average density of an object equals its total mass divided by its total volume.
Electrical
Conductivity
The degree to which a specified material conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the current density in the material to the electric field which causes the flow of current.
Insulation
The action of warming something
Semiconductivity
A semiconductor is a substance, usually a solid chemical element or compound, that can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others, making it a good medium for the control of electrical current.
Thermal
Conductivity
Some materials can conduct heat.
Expansion/contraction
the increase in volume of working fluid (such as steam) in an engine cylinder after cutoff or in an internal combustion engine after explosion.
Fusibility
Capable of being fused and especially liquefied by heat.
Welding
unite (metallic parts) by heating and allowing the metals to flow together or by hammering or compressing with or without previous heating.
Optical
Opaque
blocking the passage of radiant energy and especially light.
Translucent
transmitting and diffusing light so that objects beyond cannot be seen clearly.
Transparent
having the property of transmitting light without appreciable scattering so that bodies lying beyond are seen clearly.
Mechanical
Strengh
Shear
to cause (something, such as a rock mass) to move along the plane of contact.
Torsion
the twisting or wrenching of a body by the exertion of forces tending to turn one end or part about a longitudinal axis while the other is held fast or turned in the opposite direction.
Tension
the act or action of stretching or the condition or degree of being stretched to stiffness.
Compression
the process of compressing the fuel mixture in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine (as in an automobile).
3.
Flexion
the act of flexing or bending.
Chemical
Oxidation
the act or process of oxidizing.
Corrosion
the action, process, or effect of corroding
2
Technological
Mardness
the quality or state of being hard.
Toughness/Brittlelness
capable of enduring strain, hardship, or severe labor.
Maleabity/Ductility
capable of being extended or shaped by beating with a hammer or by the pressure of rollers
2a
Elasticity/Plasticity
the capability of a strained body to recover its size and shape after deformation.
Recilience
the capability of a strained body to recover its size and shape after deformation caused especially by compressive stress
Ecological
Recyclabe
to reuse or make (a substance) available for reuse for biological activities through natural processes of biochemical degradation or modification
Toxicity
an extremely harsh, malicious, or harmful quality
Biodegradable
capable of being broken down especially into innocuous products by the action of living things (such as microorganisms)
