Composites Flashcards
(9 cards)
Combined materials which may come from the metals, ceramics, and polymers
Composites
to display best characteristics of each component material
What are the (3) materials of the future?
- Smart (intelligent) materials
- Nanoengineered materials
- Carbon nanotubes
Have electrical properties that are intermediate between electrical conductors and insulators
Semiconductors
High or low?
At which temperature semiconductors become conductors?
At high temperature
Components implanted into the human body for replacement of diseased or damaged materials
Biomaterials
Composed of large ceramic particles distributed over a ceramic binder (cement)
Concrete
Used as actuators; revert back from deformation to their original shapes when temperature is changed
Shape memory alloys
What is the strongest material?
Carbon nanotubes
graphene
Device used in biotelemetry for monitoring the physiologic activity of an anaimal
