Asbestos when added to materials may provide strength, heat insulation, or fire resistance, among other properties.
For example:
- Asbestos added to plaster makes the finished product more resistant to breaking when flexed (stronger).
- Asbestos adhering to structural steel insulates it from heat, thus letting it survive longer in a fire so that people escape the building and firefighters can work without the building collapsing on them.
- Asbestos incorporated into textiles makes them less likely to burn, and was used in theatre curtains and woven wiring insulation for that purpose.

What are the roles of material science and material engineering in engineering fields?
This segment of engineering covers a broad spectrum of chemistry, physics and electrical engineering issues.
What is material science and engineering?
MSE is a field of Engineering - MSE stands for Materials Science and Engineering. The field encompasses the spectrum of materials: metals, ceramics, polymers (plastics), semiconductors, and combinations of materials called composites.Materials Science and Engineering is concerned with the relation between the structure and properties of materials, factors which control the internal structure, and processes for altering the structure and properties. It brings together in a unified discipline the developments in physical metallurgy, ceramics, and the physics and chemistry of solids.For more details click the links on the left.
