MACRO ENIVRONMENTAL SCANNING Assumptions: As we move into the future‚ the Canadian society will strive more and more to being healthy individuals. This said‚ what we now deem healthy and safe will slowly become ways of the past‚ creating higher standards for government regulations and safe practices. It’s the individuals that drive industry and continue to change it drastically‚ so in the near future a more health conscious society will emerge. The government will continue to monitor baby

Since 2009‚ Plastic Pollution Coalition has been building a global alliance – refuse a single-use plastic. Plastic Pollution Coalition is a growing global alliance of organizations‚ businesses‚ and leaders working toward a world free of plastic pollution and its toxic impact on humans‚ animals‚ and the environment. The bottles used to package most brands of water are made of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)‚ indicated by a number 1‚ PET or PETE on the bottle’s bottom. According to some estimates

“SMART MATERIALS” ABSTRACT The world has undergone two materials ages‚ the plastics age and the composite age‚ during the past centuries. In the midst of these two ages a new era has developed. This is the smart materials era. According to early definitions‚ smart materials are materials that respond to their environments in a timely manner. The definition of smart materials has been expanded to materials that receive‚ transmit or process a stimulus and respond

Extensions of knowledge do not always enlarge our capacity for control. This holds true for our relation to nature‚ some of whose phenomena are alterable by man while others are not. Despite all increase in our information about heavenly phenomena‚ some lie entirely beyond human influence. For instance a geologist studies the nature of the earthquakes but he cannot cause or prevent this occurrence. In some cases‚ we are ourselves the determinants of nature‚ since the use we make of natural forces

Hounsfeild Tensometer Torsion Tensile Tester Vickers Hardness Tester. Summery introduction This project will go into depth of the usage of material selection. After being paired with a fellow student we were given the task of testing 0.1% Carbon Steel‚ 0.4% heat treated steel along with a unknown specimen. To test these materials I will be using 4 types of methods Visual Inspection Hounsfeild Tensometer Torsion Tensile Tester Vickers Hardness Tester. Visual test While

Ceramic Science‚ pg 123-131. (Relevant to exam) There are two key reasons for using thermoplastic composites: * save time & handling costs in production * eliminate labour-intensive riveting & bonding * can produce large profile sections that are some 20 % lighter than metal &

Composite materials A composite material consists of two or more physically and/or chemically distinct‚ suitably arranged or distributed phases‚ with an interface separating them. It has characteristics that are not depicted by any of the components in isolation Most commonly‚ composite materials have a bulk phase‚ which is continuous‚ called the matrix‚ and one dispersed‚ non-continuous‚ phase called the reinforcement‚ which is usually harder and stronger. The arrangement of the fiber in the matrix

Timeline of materials technology BC • 29‚000–25‚000 BC – First pottery appears • 3rd millennium BC – Copper metallurgy is invented and copper is used for ornamentation • 2nd millennium BC – Bronze is used for weapons and armour • 16th century BC – The Hittites develop crude iron metallurgy • 13th century BC – Invention of steel when iron and charcoal are combined properly • 10th century BC – Glass production begins in ancient Near East • 1st millennium BC – Pewter beginning to be used in

Composite Materials A composite is a combination of two or more materials bonded together to gain some overall necessary goods. Types of composite include: laminated materials fibre composites particle composites. A laminate contains thin pieces of material fused together. Common examples are plywood and car windscreens. Wood is durable when exposed to a ductile force equivalent to its grain‚ but if the strength is across the particle it splits simply. A windscreen is made in a parallel way; two
