TECHNOLOGICAL PROPIERTIES
Physical
Electrical conduct
Is the measure of a material's ability to allow the transport of an electric charge
Density
Density defined in a qualitative manner as the measure of the relative "heaviness" of objects with a constant volume.
Thermal conduct
Quantifies the ability of a material to conduct heat.
Mechanical properties
Tension
Resistance to traction. A material is subjected to tensile stresses when the applied forces tend to stretch it.
Shearing
Shear strength is the strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure.
Torsion
Is the twisting of an object due to an applied troque
Flexion
the act of bending a limb.
Compression
Resistance to compression. A material is subjected to compression efforts when the applied forces tend to crush it.
Optical
Transparent
having the property of transmitting rays of light through its substance so that bodies situated beyond or behind can be distinctly seen.
Translucent
Permitting light to pass through but diffusing it so that persons, objects, etc., on the opposite side are not clearly visible.
Opaque
You can't see inside them, it isn't transparent.
Hardness
Resistance of a material to deformation, indentation, or penetration

Thoughness
the state of being strong enough to withstand adverse conditions or rough handling.
Permeability
The property or state of being permeable.
Technological
Fusibility
The fusibility of a material is the ease at which the material can be fused together or to the temperature or amount of heat required to melt a material.
Soldability
is the property of a solid, liquid or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid or gaseous solvent.
Elasticity
a physical property of a material where the material returns to its original shape after being deformed.
Maleability
is a substance's ability to deform under pressure
Ecological
Reciclability
to treat or process (used or waste materials) so as to make suitable for reuse: recycling paper to save trees.
Biodegradability
Capable of being broken down (decomposed) rapidly by the action of microorganisms.
Toxicity
Toxicity is the degree to which a chemical substance or a particular mixture of substances can damage an organism.
Chemical
Corrosion
Corrosion is a natural process, which converts a refined metal to a more chemically-stable form, such as its oxide, hydroxide, or sulfide.
Oxidation
Oxidation is a process in which a chemical substance changes because of the addition of oxygen.
