  2. Intrinsic and extrinsic properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_and_extrinsic...

    In materials science, an intrinsic property is independent of how much of a material is present and is independent of the form of the material, e.g., one large piece or a collection of small particles. Intrinsic properties are dependent mainly on the fundamental chemical composition and structure of the material. [1]

  3. Dielectric strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_strength

    The theoretical dielectric strength of a material is an intrinsic property of the bulk material, and is independent of the configuration of the material or the electrodes with which the field is applied. This "intrinsic dielectric strength" corresponds to what would be measured using pure materials under ideal laboratory conditions.

  4. Permeability (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability_(Materials...

    Permeability, or intrinsic permeability, (k, unit: m 2) is a part of this, and is a specific property characteristic of the solid skeleton and the microstructure of the porous medium itself, independently of the nature and properties of the fluid flowing through the pores of the medium.

  5. Bulk density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_density

    Bulk density is not the same as the particle density, which is an intrinsic property of the solid and does not include the volume for voids between particles (see: density of non-compact materials). Bulk density is an extrinsic property of a material; it can change depending on how the material is handled. For example, a powder poured into a ...

  6. Cohesion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    It is an intrinsic property of a substance that is caused by the shape and structure of its molecules, which makes the distribution of surrounding electrons irregular when molecules get close to one another, creating electrical attraction that can maintain a macroscopic structure such as a water drop.

  7. Permeation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeation

    In physics and engineering, permeation (also called imbuing) is the penetration of a permeate (a fluid such as a liquid, gas, or vapor) through a solid.It is directly related to the concentration gradient of the permeate, a material's intrinsic permeability, and the materials' mass diffusivity. [1]

    The agencies didn’t test backlogged kits in cases with a previous confession, guilty plea or conviction, or if the suspect’s DNA already was in the national database. As a result, prisoners ...

  9. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    That applies for intrinsic (undoped) semiconductors. This means that at absolute zero temperature, there would be no free conduction electrons, and the resistance is infinite. However, the resistance decreases as the charge carrier density (i.e., without introducing further complications, the density of electrons) in the conduction band increases.
