Predicting properties of composite materials Date: May 21, 2019 Source: Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA) Summary: ...

Multiscale experimental and computational approaches reveal how an ancient fish protects itself with an armour of scales consisting of four different reinforcing, graded nanocomposite layers.

Researchers in Korea have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) technology that predicts molecular properties by learning ...

In my January 2019 column, I discussed methods to determine whether properties obtained from mechanical testing of composites are correct — or even reasonable. One of the methods focused on comparing ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed an environmentally safer type of plastic that can be used for ...

Students will use what they know about the properties of paper, plastic, and aluminum foil to decide how the materials can be used for a specific purpose. Key Concepts. Materials with certain ...

Hydrogen fuel cells, a growing sector in the renewable energy market, require ATEX-compliant fittings and fixtures to ensure safety in high-risk environments. ATEX-approved pressure valves are ...

4th level; The properties and applications of novel materials Composites. The use of nano-scale particles is relatively new, and it is still unclear what their long term effect might be on health ...

They are called "structural properties" because, for the purposes of this exercise, we are interested only in the ability of materials to hold shapes or move energy as if they were part of structures.

Testing materials can help identify their properties. To compare their properties, different materials need to be tested in the same way. NGSS Alignment. NGSS 2-PS1-1: Plan and conduct an ...

A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming.

New materials are constantly being developed. In National 4 Chemistry learn about the properties of different materials including plastics and ceramics.
