Properties of water

-hydrogen bonding


-special angle/distance


-highest surface tension

Surface tension

the tension of the surface film of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles in the surface layer by the bulk of the liquid, which tends to minimize surface area

Intrinsic

depends on composition, not microstructure


(if there's a table, it's probably intrinsic)

extrinsic

depends on microstructure

Hooke's Law

elastic behavior, states that the extension of a spring is in direct proportion with the load applied to it

Stress and Strain

normal applied force


(true strain = continuous deformation)


stress-strain curve = displays force deformation

Yield Strength

the stress at which a material begins to deform plastically (irreversibly)


point reached on stress-strain curve

Tension and Compression

perpendicular applied force

Shear

parallel applied force, used to test materials w/ low yield strength (polymers, couscous fluids etc.)

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)

nano indentation technique

elastic constants

(extrinsic because depends on microstructure)


elastic modulus, shear modulus, bulk modulus

elastic modulus

steep slope = high elastic modulus


high elastic modulus = material that requires a lot of stress to produce little deformation (metal)


low elastic modulus = material that requires little stress to produce a lot of deformation (plastic)

poisson's ratio

(intrinsic)


strain in transverse direction / strain in axial direction


higher ratio, more elastic (ex: rubber=0.5, concrete=0.2)

Isotropic

material with properties are the same in all directions (ex: metallics and ceramics)

Anisotropic

material with properties are NOT the same in all directions (ex: polymeric materials like bones and ligaments)

Resilience

A measure of elastic energy that can be stored in a unit of volume of stressed material

Toughness

The amount of energy per unit volume that a material can absorb before failure

Fracture Toughness

A measure of how successfully a material resists the propagation of cracks (depends on the environment in which it is tested)

Fatigue

The progressive and localized structural damage that occurs when a material is subjected to cyclic loading

Weibull modulus

statistical aspects of failure


failure probability



Thermal expansion

nominal strain that occurs when the temperature of a material is changed

Surface

the zone where the structure and composition, influenced by the interface, differs from the average bulk composition and structure.

Interface

the transition between two phases (an infinitely thin separation plane)

Interphase

the unique compositional phase between two phases

surface properties

roughness, patterns, wettability, surface mobility, chemical composition, electrical charge, crystallinity, modulus, heterogeneity

surface roughness

measure of the texture of a surface, quantified by vertical deviations of a real surface from its ideal form (large deviations = rough, small deviations = smooth)

wetting

ability of a liquid to maintain contact with a solid surface, resulting from intermolecular interactions


extent to which a liquid will spread over a solid surface


measured by a contact angle

contact angle phenomenon

balance between the force with which the molecules of the drop of liquid are attracted to each other (cohesive force) and the attraction of the liquid molecules for the surface (adhesive force)

young's equation

force balance

Zisman Method

when a liquid spreads freely on an analyzed surface, its surface tension is lower than or equal to that of the surface upon which it is spreading.
