- Graphene
- Nanomaterials - 8What are smart material?They are materials that can change when introduced to a certain factor I.E. heat and light
- 9Give an example of Smart material and what they do.Thermochromic pigments - They can change colour depending on the heat of the material. (Thermo means heat)
Photochromic pigments - They can change depending on the ammount of light avalible. - 10What are technical textiles?Fibers that are taken from a harder materials like composites and are fredded into fabric I.E. Kevlar, Fire-resistant fabric
- 11What are composites?Composites are when you combine two materials into one.
So it will have the properties of the two material.
I.E. fiberglass, Carbonfiber. - 12What is a ferrous metal?They are a type of metal that contains iron and has a very high melting point.
- 13What is a non ferrous metal?They are metals that do not contain iron and is not magnetic.
- 14Give an example of ferrous and non ferrous metals.Ferrous - Cast iron, mild steel, stainless steel
Non ferrous - Aluminium, copper, zinc and silver. - 15What is an alloy?A mixture of 2 metal - usually the best properties of each metal.
