Weight per unit volume, known as density, is a crucial physical property for coating materials, as well as other liquids and semiliquids. It serves as an initial indicator of the composition ratios ...

This series of articles is designed to help molders understand how a few analytical tools can help diagnose a part failure. Michael Sepe is our analyst and author. He is the technical director at ...

High energy density materials (HEDMs) represent a rapidly evolving class of compounds that store and release large amounts of energy in a compact framework. These materials, often based on ...

Powder is a collection of single solid particles, which in most cases may be considered a basic unit. Powder is typically comprised of solid particles, interparticle voids, as well as open and closed ...

Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...

Density describes how closely packed the particles are in a solid, liquid or gas. in a solid ‐ particles are tightly packed in a regular structure in a liquid ‐ particles are tightly packed but free ...

Grain boundaries are interfaces that separate different crystallographic regions, known as grains, within a polycrystalline material. In nanomaterials, grain boundaries play a crucial role in ...

Each material has properties that make them good for specific tasks, eg cotton is lightweight and absorbent. The properties of materials must be considered when designing a product, eg a steel pan ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as a significant class of materials promising for photocatalysis, and defect ...

Decades ago, the entrance to the somewhat sleepy Francis Bitter National Magnet Lab at MIT was decorated with a movie poster from The Magnetic Monster, a 1953 American science fiction film. Since then ...
