  2. Characterization (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characterization...

    The characterization technique optical microscopy showing the micron scale dendritic microstructure of a bronze alloy. Characterization, when used in materials science, refers to the broad and general process by which a material's structure and properties are probed and measured. It is a fundamental process in the field of materials science ...

  3. Materials science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materials_science

    Materials science is an interdisciplinary field of researching and discovering materials. Materials engineering is an engineering field of finding uses for materials in other fields and industries. The intellectual origins of materials science stem from the Age of Enlightenment, when researchers began to use analytical thinking from chemistry ...

  4. Crystallography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallography

    Crystallography. A crystalline solid: atomic resolution image of strontium titanate. Brighter spots are columns of strontium atoms and darker ones are titanium - oxygen columns. Crystallography is the branch of science devoted to the study of molecular and crystalline structure and properties. [1] The word crystallography is derived from the ...

  5. Nanomaterials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanomaterials

    In ISO/TS 80004, nanomaterial is defined as the "material with any external dimension in the nanoscale or having internal structure or surface structure in the nanoscale", with nanoscale defined as the "length range approximately from 1 nm to 100 nm". This includes both nano-objects, which are discrete pieces of material, and nanostructured ...

  6. 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.

  7. Organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_chemistry

    Category. v. t. e. Organic chemistry is a subdiscipline within chemistry involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms. [1] Study of structure determines their structural formula.

  8. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    Strength of materials. The field of strength of materials (also called mechanics of materials) typically refers to various methods of calculating the stresses and strains in structural members, such as beams, columns, and shafts. The methods employed to predict the response of a structure under loading and its susceptibility to various failure ...

  9. Metal–organic framework - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal–organic_framework

    Electron micrograph of a MIL-101 crystal showing its supertetrahedra. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous polymers consisting of metal clusters (also known as Secondary Building Units - SBUs) coordinated to organic ligands to form one-, two- or three-dimensional structures.
