Asbestos when added to materials may provide strength, heat insulation, or fire resistance, among other properties.
For example:
cotton fabrics and asbestos
This segment of engineering covers a broad spectrum of chemistry, physics and electrical engineering issues.
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.
is ther a demand for material engineering in the future
it will be depend on the application, however following material are generaly used for pipe sealing -asbestos sheed - PTFE -composite sheet(Rubber+asbestos)
the main difference is of SPELLINGS!. material science is knowing the basic knowledge about materials i.e their properties. and material engineering is that, by knowing the properties of a particular material you design or engineer that material for desired applications.
In US regulations asbestos-containing material is a material that has more than one percent (1 %) asbestos by weight.
Asbestos (particularly blue asbestos)
the material usually classified based on their properties.
No, styrofoam cups do not contain asbestos. Styrofoam is a type of plastic material while asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral known for its heat resistance and insulating properties, but it is not used in the production of styrofoam products.
Asbestos is a porous material and can absorb water.
An asbestos square is a square of a material that contains asbestos in it.
No, crystalite is not asbestos. Crystalite is a material used to create artificial gemstones, while asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials for its heat resistance properties.
Asbestos cement
Friable asbestos is material that contains asbestos fibers and that can be crumbled into dust in the hand without the use of tools.
An asbestos-containing material is one that has a detectable percentage of asbestos fibres, which is usually more than 0,1 %.
The mineral called "miracle mineral" by the Greeks is likely asbestos. Asbestos was commonly used in ancient Greece for its fire-resistant properties and was considered a miracle material due to its versatility and durability. However, it is now known to be hazardous to human health when its fibers are inhaled.
