  2. Polymer blend - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_blend

    In materials science, a polymer blend, or polymer mixture, is a member of a class of materials analogous to metal alloys, in which at least two polymers are blended together to create a new material with different physical properties.

  3. II-VI semiconductor compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/II-VI_semiconductor_compound

    Tensions and impurities due to low crystal quality result in low optoelectronic properties. One example of the basic possibilities achievable with three different compounds is shown in the diagram with zinc oxide (ZnO), cadmium oxide (CdO) and magnesium oxide (MgO). Basically it is possible to gain any band gap between those of the three materials.

  4. Mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture

    Air is an example of a solution as well: a homogeneous mixture of gaseous nitrogen solvent, in which oxygen and smaller amounts of other gaseous solutes are dissolved. Mixtures are not limited in either their number of substances or the amounts of those substances, though in most solutions, the solute-to-solvent proportion can only reach a ...

  5. Fiber-reinforced composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-reinforced_composite

    This material, unlike other composites, can be recycled up to 20 times, allowing scrap FRC to be reused again and again. The failure mechanisms in FRC materials include delamination , intralaminar matrix cracking, longitudinal matrix splitting, fiber/matrix debonding, fiber pull-out, and fiber fracture.

    A programmable material that the Transformers are made from. Tritanium: Star Trek: The fictional metal tritanium was referred to in many episodes as an extremely hard alloy used in starship hulls and hand-held tools. Eve Online: A versatile material; the primary material used in the construction of virtually all star ships and star ship components.

  8. Hybrid material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_material

    For example, low temperature derived inorganic materials are often amorphous or crystallinity is only observed on a very small length scale, i.e. the nanometer range. An example of the latter is the formation of metal nanoparticles in organic or inorganic matrices by reduction of metal salts or organometallic precursors.
