- DT GCSE 9-1 Topic 3: Developments in new materials
- Modern materials
- Powder coating metals= comes in a range of colours, offers surface protection,
- Liquid Crystal Displays allows for displays to be thinner e.g smaller computers
- Nano-materials= materials with a single unit of 1- 100nm
- Liquid Crystal Displays allows for displays to be thinner e.g smaller computers
- Powder coating metals= comes in a range of colours, offers surface protection,
- Smart materials
- Photochromic
- Hydrochromic
- Thermometric
- SMA
- A material that has a memory e.g after being heated at 90* then returning to original shape.
- Thermometers change colour dependant on the heat.
- SMA
- Plastic moisture testers in plant pots from yellow to blue (dry to wet.)
- Thermometric
- Some glasses darken as UV increases.
- Hydrochromic
- Photochromic
- Composite materials
- CARBON FIBRE REINFORCED POLYMER (CFRP) expensive sports cars
- Carbon fibre woven into mateiral then epocy resin + the end is a light and strong material
- Kevlar a liquid turned into a fibre,
- (hydrogen bonds and are formed with the polymer chains wich act like glue keeping the seperate polymer chains together)
- v.strong and lightweight heat and corrosion resitant= planes
- (hydrogen bonds and are formed with the polymer chains wich act like glue keeping the seperate polymer chains together)
- Steel reinforced concrete= steel rods put in used for bridges and skyscrapers
- CARBON FIBRE REINFORCED POLYMER (CFRP) expensive sports cars
- How fibres are spun
- Conductive fibres
- staple fibers+ electrically conductive staple fibers can be mixed and spun
- fire resistant fabrics= fibres are treated with flame retardant fabric
- Untitled
- Conductive fibres
- Modern materials
