Materials & Properties

Difficulty Level Normal
Audience Level General
Description Materials and their components are described in this course. In addition, Materials’ classification and different kinds of properties are explained. Which properties are changed in nanoscale and the reason of these changes are another subject which are considered in this course.
Overview
In this course, materials and their components are introduced. Components lead to classify materials in different groups. Every group has its specific structure and properties. All of these subjects are explained in this course. Furthermore, in nanoscale, properties are changed. The reason of outstanding material properties in nanoscale is also explained in this course.
 
It should be noted, if material properties are introduced in bulk and nanoscale taking a deductive approach, tangible concepts of structures in nanoscale are gained. Deductive approach enables us to classify nano and bulk materials in our mind.


Booklet
Description
 In this session we will talk about material properties .The properties of a material refer to the behavior of a substance as a result of external stimulation. By means of properties we can specify a lot of materials from each other. One of methods for classification, is the examination of molecular and atomic structure. Atomic examination requires special tools and some times its hard to deal with. In other way we can classify materials and that is the examination of properties.
Mental Challenge
 What is mechanical property?
