What is a poly crystalline structure?
Composed of many tiny, individual crystals structures separated by grain boundaries
What does APF stand for and what does it mean? (BONUS +100: What is the formula?)
The Atomic Packing Factor. Definition: a measure of the fraction of a volume that is occupied by atoms arranged in a particular crystal structure.
Formula: Volumesphere/ Volumeunit cell
A substance created by combining two or more metallic elements to form a mixture or solid solution, creating a new material with unique properties.
Alloy
This category of manufacturing processes often create parts that feature numerous horizontal "layer lines".
Additive Manufacturing
Yesterday, during the calorimetry lab, why was Qmetal the same as Qwater?
Because the energy released by the metal was absorbed by the water.
What does the phrase "We cross-linked this polymer" mean?
The polymer chains were connected 
What does coordination number mean?
The number of atoms, molecules or ions bonded to an atom in a crystal structure.
A composite material often consists of two distinct parts, a matrix material and a ___________ material.
Reinforcement
This form of formative manufacturing is utilized to produce the majority of plastic components, ranging from small toys to large automotive parts.
Injection Molding
What is the lowest theoretical temperature?
0 K.
Fun fact: Lowest temperature ever recorded was 0.000 000 000 1!
Where's chitosan from? What type of hydrogel does it develop?
From crustacean shells, natural.
What are interstitial sites and what are the 2 types covered in lecture?
The "empty" space between the atoms. Then, octahedral and tetrahedral. ![]()
The word polymer is derived from the Greek words "poly" (many) and "meros" (part/unit). A single unit of a polymer is called a _______.
Monomer
Before a component is able to be produced with most manufacturing machinery, it often must be modelled first in this type of software.
Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
What is Hess Law?
Hess Law: The enthalpy change of a reaction is the sum of the standard
enthalpies of the reactions into which the overall reaction may be divided
Name 2 types of physical binding/bonds that attach hydrogels together
Hydrogen bonding, ionic or electrostatic interactions, complex formation and hydrophobic interactions
What are the 2 methods used to observe crystal structures?
X-Ray Diffraction and Electron diffraction
This process is used on ceramic materials after they have been dried and fired in an oven or kiln, providing them with a durable coating that seals the porous material and adds the desired final colour and texture.
Glazing
An important consideration when deciding how many of a product to create, this three letter acronym describes the least amount of something a manufacturer will allow to be produced.
Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)
What is internal energy AND what is it's formula?
Total energy within a system. U = Q + W
What type of bond is chemical binding (during crosslinking) formed by?
Covalent bonds
In what sequence is HCP stacked in?
ABABABAB...
The polymer represented by this three the acronym can be found in its original rigid form when used for pipes and various building materials, or its flexible form when combined with plasticizers to make shower curtains and waterproof clothing.
PVC (Polyvinyl chloride)
When using the anodization process on a metal, this one colour is nearly impossible to achieve due to the large size of it's pigment particles.
White
