  2. Biomimetic material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomimetic_material

    Biomimetic composites are being made by mimicking natural design strategies. The designs or structures found in animals and plants have been studied and these biological structures are applied to manufacture composite structure. Advanced manufacturing techniques like 3d printing are being used by the researcher to fabricate them. [24]

  3. Hybrid material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_material

    A macroscopic example is the mule, which is more suited for hard work than either of its parents, the horse and the donkey. The size of the individual components and the nature of their interaction (covalent, electrostatic, etc.) do not enter into the definition of a hybrid material. [4]

  4. Composite material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

    Composite materials are also becoming more common in the realm of orthopedic surgery, [42] and it is the most common hockey stick material. Carbon composite is a key material in today's launch vehicles and heat shields for the re-entry phase of spacecraft. It is widely used in solar panel substrates, antenna reflectors and yokes of spacecraft.

  5. Bioplastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioplastic

    Both the structure and composition of biopolymer or bio-composite have an effect on the biodegradation process, hence changing the composition and structure might increase biodegradability. [73] Soil and compost as environment conditions are more efficient in biodegradation due to their high microbial diversity. [ 73 ]

  6. Fiber-reinforced composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-reinforced_composite

    A fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) is a composite building material that consists of three components: [1] [2] the fibers as the discontinuous or dispersed phase, the matrix as the continuous phase, and; the fine interphase region, also known as the interface.

  7. Polymer chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_chemistry

    Polymer chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that focuses on the structures, chemical synthesis, and chemical and physical properties of polymers and macromolecules. The principles and methods used within polymer chemistry are also applicable through a wide range of other chemistry sub-disciplines like organic chemistry , analytical ...

  8. Textile performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_performance

    Nanotechnology unites a variety of scientific fields, such as material science, physics, chemistry, biology and engineering. For example: Nanocoating (of microscopically structured surfaces fine enough to interfere with visible light) in textiles for biomimetics is the new method of structural coloration without dyes.

  9. Chemical biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_biology

    An overview of the different components included in the field of chemical biology. Chemical biology is a scientific discipline between the fields of chemistry and biology.The discipline involves the application of chemical techniques, analysis, and often small molecules produced through synthetic chemistry, to the study and manipulation of biological systems.
