2. Surface area - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

   A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

3. Specific surface area - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_surface_area

   Specific surface area (SSA) is a property of solids defined as the total surface area (SA) of a material per unit mass, [1] (with units of m 2 /kg or m 2 /g). Alternatively, it may be defined as SA per solid or bulk volume [ 2 ] [ 3 ] (units of m 2 /m 3 or m −1 ).

4. Solid-state physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_physics

   Solid-state physics is the study of rigid matter, or solids, through methods such as solid-state chemistry, quantum mechanics, crystallography, electromagnetism, and metallurgy. It is the largest branch of condensed matter physics. Solid-state physics studies how the large-scale properties of solid materials result from their atomic-scale ...

5. Base (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(chemistry)

   Depending on a solid surface's ability to successfully form a conjugate base by absorbing an electrically neutral acid, basic strength of the surface is determined. [15] The "number of basic sites per unit surface area of the solid" is used to express how much basic strength is found on a solid base catalyst. [15]

6. Base (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(geometry)

   The extended base of a triangle (a particular case of an extended side) is the line that contains the base. When the triangle is obtuse and the base is chosen to be one of the sides adjacent to the obtuse angle , then the altitude dropped perpendicularly from the apex to the base intersects the extended base outside of the triangle.

7. Solid mechanics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_mechanics

   A solid is a material that can support a substantial amount of shearing force over a given time scale during a natural or industrial process or action. This is what distinguishes solids from fluids, because fluids also support normal forces which are those forces that are directed perpendicular to the material plane across from which they act and normal stress is the normal force per unit area ...

8. Solid geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_geometry

   A solid figure is the region of 3D space bounded by a two-dimensional closed surface; for example, a solid ball consists of a sphere and its interior. Solid geometry deals with the measurements of volumes of various solids, including pyramids , prisms (and other polyhedrons ), cubes , cylinders , cones (and truncated cones ).

9. Solid-state chemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_chemistry

   Solid-state chemistry, also sometimes referred as materials chemistry, is the study of the synthesis, structure, and properties of solid phase materials.It therefore has a strong overlap with solid-state physics, mineralogy, crystallography, ceramics, metallurgy, thermodynamics, materials science and electronics with a focus on the synthesis of novel materials and their characterization.
