    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_materials_properties

    A material property is an intensive property of a material, i.e., a physical property or chemical property that does not depend on the amount of the material. These quantitative properties may be used as a metric by which the benefits of one material versus another can be compared, thereby aiding in materials selection.

  3. Material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material

    A material is a substance or mixture of substances that constitutes an object.Materials can be pure or impure, living or non-living matter. Materials can be classified on the basis of their physical and chemical properties, or on their geological origin or biological function.

    Often the presence, absence, or variation of minute quantities of secondary elements and compounds in a bulk material will greatly affect the final properties of the materials produced. For example, steels are classified based on 1/10 and 1/100 weight percentages of the carbon and other alloying elements they contain.

  5. Intensive and extensive properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive...

    More generally properties can be combined to give new properties, which may be called derived or composite properties. For example, the base quantities [11] mass and volume can be combined to give the derived quantity [12] density. These composite properties can sometimes also be classified as intensive or extensive.

  6. Intrinsic and extrinsic properties - Wikipedia

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

    Intrinsic properties are dependent mainly on the fundamental chemical composition and structure of the material. [1] Extrinsic properties are differentiated as being dependent on the presence of avoidable chemical contaminants or structural defects. [2]

  7. Chemical property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_property

    Chemical properties can be used for building chemical classifications. They can also be useful to identify an unknown substance or to separate or purify it from other substances. Materials science will normally consider the chemical properties of a substance to guide its applications.

  8. Physical property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_property

    Properties may also be classified with respect to the directionality of their nature. For example, isotropic properties do not change with the direction of observation, and anisotropic properties do have spatial variance. It may be difficult to determine whether a given property is a material property or not.

    where X is a material property such as modulus or stress, c, m, and r stand for the properties of the composite, matrix, and reinforcement materials respectively, and n is a value between 1 and −1. The above equation can be further generalized beyond a two phase composite to an m-component system:
