- 12Biomassorganic material used as fuel
- 13Kinetic pumped storage systemsstoring potential energy by pumping water from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir and creating potential energy though gravity
- 14Modern materialsDeveloped through invention of new or improved processes
- 15Graphenean allotrope of carbon consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms
- 16Metal foamsA cellular structure of aluminium with gas filled pores
- 17Liquid crystal displaysA display in which a layer of liquid crystals in sandwiched between 2 transparent electrodes
- 18NanomaterialsA material having particles of nanoscale proportions.
- 19Smart materialsA material that can adapt according to its surroundings.
- 20Composite materialsA material made by combining 2 or more others EG fibre glass.
- 21KevlarA heat resistant high strength synthetic fibre. Used for Bullet proof vests, gloves. Riot gear.
- 22MicrofibresA synthetic fibre smaller than any naturally occurring strand.
- 23FusibilityThe ease with which a material will melt
- 24Conversion of timbera phrase usually used in reference to turning a log into a pile of boards/planks.
- 25Seasoning of timberWhen wood is allowed to dry to remove moisture from the cells.
- 26Knock down fittingsThe fittings such as CAM bolts used in flat pack furniture which can be fitted and removed.
- 27Stock formsThe basic forms in which material s are sold eg, sheet, rod, dowel planks etc
- 28Standard mouldingsLike stock forms but moulded to rounded, bevelled or chamfered as well as decorative profiles.
- 29Scales of productionThe rate or amount of products produced
- 30MassProduction in large quantities
- 31ContinuousFlow production used to produce materials without interruptoion
- 32Wood turningShaping wood on a lathe eg banisters
- 33WastageProcessing wood in a way which the removed material is now waste e.g turning as opposed to sawing.
- 34MillingA machine which cuts metal using a rotating tool
- 35ExtrusionExtrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile. A material is pushed through a die of the desired cross-section.
- 36Computer numerical control (CNC)a way of controlling how machine tools operate using a computer.
- 37Go/no go fixturesan inspection tool used to check a workpiece against its allowed tolerances
- 38Tanalisingplacing the timber within the treatment cylinder and creating an initial vacuum within the timber cells. The cylinder is then flooded under vacuum with the preservative treatment. Hydraulic pressure is then applied, forcing the preservative deep into the timber cells.
- 39AnthropometricsRelating to the scientific study of the measurements and proportions of the human body.
- 40ErgonomicsRelating to or designed for efficiency and comfort in the working environment.
