Material

The hardness of a material is measured against the scale by finding the hardest material that the given material can scratch, and/or the softest material that can scratch the given material.

Mixing recyclable material with non-recyclable material is considered contamination, and high contamination rates prompted the largest buyer of U.S. recycled material, China, to stop accepting most plastic and paper waste as of 2018.

A collision with orbital debris, material failure due to uncontrolled fission, material imperfections or fatigue, or human design flaws could cause a containment breach of the fissile material.

Admittance The thermal admittance of a material, such as a building fabric, is a measure of the ability of a material to transfer heat in the presence of a temperature difference on opposite sides of the material.

A sintered base uses the same material as an extruded base, but first grinds the material into a powder, then, using heat and pressure, molds the material into its desired form.

Bacteriophages lend themselves to experiments on hereditary material because they incorporate their genetic material into their host cell's genetic material (making them useful tools), they multiply quickly, and they are easily collected by researchers.

For example, when George Lucas re-edited the original Star Wars trilogy, he made changes directly to the source material, rather than introducing new source material that contradicted the contents of previous material.

If a photosensitive material is selectively exposed to radiation (e.g. by masking some of the radiation) the pattern of the radiation on the material is transferred to the material exposed, as the properties of the exposed and unexposed regions differs.

In addition to melting the base metal, a filler material is often added to the joint to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool ) that cools to form a joint that can be as strong, or even stronger, than the base material.

The material with the higher diffusion coefficient will have a larger associated vacancy flux into it, so the net movement of vacancies will be from the material with the lower diffusion coefficient into the material with the higher diffusion coefficient.

The theoretical dielectric strength of a material is an intrinsic property of the bulk material and is independent of the configuration of the material or the electrodes with which the field is applied.

When manufacturing or using a material, it is generally desirable to know what compounds and what phases are present in the material, as their composition, structure and proportions will influence the material's properties.

Brown material is the woodier material that will take longer to break down, such as hedge trimmings, woody stems or cardboard.

Digital technologies should also be used to measure environmental parameters and impacts, reduce energy and material consumption along supply chains, and identify more environmentally friendly business models and practices such as circular material flows.

If the material of the product is good, then it must be long-lasting and good for your health, so it’s good to check the material before buying.

Officials said the team would be tasked with investigating the “material used to construct the statues, the responsibility of the company that was awarded the contract, and whether it used substandard material to construct the statues”.

Once the material has cured, the mold is removed, leaving behind a solid piece of the color-correcting material with the shape of the contact lens.

The bullet proof material is usually made out of polyethylene fiber, a thin, flexible material that has the ability to stop a gunman's fire.

The first material, Purple Pigment, is itself a craftable material that can be made using four Purple Falling Penstemons and four Purple Rising Penstemons.

The material could even be of “extraterrestrial technological origin” because of some unusual characteristics of the material, he said.
