Gujarat Power Eng and Research Institute: Guidance by Ravi Upadhyay

This document provides a summary of properties of materials presented by students Aman Patel, Parth Bhavsar, and Kandarp Dave, guided by Ravi Upadhyay. It discusses chemical properties like reactions with other substances, physical properties including characteristics like density and melting point, mechanical properties such as hardness and elasticity, and general classes of materials including polymers, ceramics, composites, metals and alloys, and wood. It also defines and provides examples of density, measuring mass and volume.

Properties of Materials
Chemical Properties
how a material interacts with another material

social behavior

response to other matter (or lack of response)

reactions
Chemical Properties
Examples:
burning
reaction with acid
reaction with water
corrosion/rusting/oxidation
others????
Physical Properties
characteristics it possesses by itself

personal traits

response to energy
Physical Properties
color luster
size density
texture magnetism
melting point odor
boiling point viscosity
solubility crystalline structure
Physical Properties
Electrical properties
conductor or insulator

Optical properties response to light


index of refraction bending of light
transparent light passes through
translucent some light passes through but no
distinct image
opaque no light passes through
Physical Properties
Thermal properties response to heat

conductivity

specific heat how much energy it takes to


change temperature

thermal expansion example: iron wire


demo
Mechanical Properties
subgroup of physical
response to force or stress
force a push or pull

stress force causing a deformation or


distortion (force per unit area)
Mechanical Properties
Examples
workability
malleability can be flattened
ductility can be drawn into wire
(stretched), bent, or extruded
Mechanical Properties
Examples
brittleness
breaks instead of deforming when stress is
applied

hardness
resistance to denting or scratching
Mechanical Properties
Examples
elasticity
ability to return to original shape after
being deformed by stress
rubber ball or piece of elastic
plasticity
retains new shape after being deformed by
stress
wet clay ball or piece of saran wrap
Mechanical Properties
Examples
toughness
ability to absorb energy
resistance to fracture

strength
resistance to distortion by stress or force
several types: tensile, compressive,
torsional, bending, shear
General Classes of Materials
Polymers
Ceramics
Composites
Metals and Alloys
Metals and Alloys
Wood and Wood Products
Density
how much stuff per how much space
stuff = matter (mass)
space = volume
per = divide

mass
Density =
volume
Unit = g/cm3 or g/mL
Mass

Mass
amount of matter
measured with a balance
unit = grams (g)
Volume
Volume
how much space it occupies
liquids
measured with a graduated cylinder
unit = mL
solids
regular-shaped
find the dimensions and use an equation
irregular-shaped
use the water displacement method
units = cm3
1cm3 = 1 mL
