Assertion: Glaas fibers have a lower elongation but higher tensile strength than carbon fibers and aramid fibers Reason: glass fibers offers good electrical insulation and are corrosion resistant

(V) Assertion is wrong statement and reason is correct statement

Assertion: Glass is considered as a ceramic material but are distinguished from other conventional ceramics. Reason: Constituents in glass are heated to fusion and then cooled to a rigid state without crystallization.

(ii) Assertion and reason are both correct

Assertion: Aramid fibers are used in composites because of high tensile strength. Reason: Strong intermolecular forces (like Hydrogen bonding in Aramid fibers) lead to close packing of chains and increase the crystalline character, hence provide high tensile strength

(ii) Assertion and reason both are correct

Assertion: Wood is anisotropic in nature. Reason: cellulose fibers are oriented longitudinally

(ii) Assertion and reason both are correct

(wt. of water in sample/at of dry wood sample)X100

True statements about corrosion

-corrosion is an oxidation reaction -corrosion is a combination of chemical and physical process -corrosion involves the loss of a material

Describe the ways to improve the strength of thermoplastics.

-effect of bulky side groups on the main chains -strength is directly related to molecular mass -the degree of crystallization. Crystallization leads to high density, high density leads to high strength -the effect of high polar atoms on the main chains -the effect of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur atoms in main carbon chains -the effect of phenyl rings in the main chains -the addition of glass-fiber reinforcement

What is the difference between a random copolymer and gaft copolymer

-random copolymers are different monomers randomly arranged in chains -gaft copolymers are one type of monomer grafted to long chain of another

After ionization, the size of the sodium ion is____________than sodium atom, while chloride ion is_____________than the CL atom

1) smaller 2) larger

Write and explain three differences between Scottky and Frenkel defects under the heads 1) effect on density 2) effect on electrical conductivity 3) effect on stability of the crystal

1. Schottky decreases density because both a cation and an anion are missing while Frenkel defects don't change density because the cation only moves into the interstitial state 2. Scottky is missing electrons which çarry electricity, therefore it would increase electrical conductivity Frenkel also increases electrical conductivity 3. Frenkel defects cause greater repulsion between cations due to closer proximity, making it less stable. Schottky defects also causes crystal to be less stable

The metal is solidified and cooled to room temperature. A metallographic analysis shows that large columnar grains extend from the wall of the vessel into the center of the sample. Do you conclude that these grains were nucleated homogeneously or heterogeneously, and why?

This was nucleated homogeneously. The reason being is that the grain is the same throughout the sample. To be heterogeneously there would be exquiated grains near the wall of the cell and then columnar grains near the nucleus

explain what glass transition temperature is and what role of a plasticizer in affecting a polymer property

-Glass transition temperature is the temperature at which a polymer transitions from being rubbery if over the temperature -the role of a plasticizer is to impart the flexibility to polymeric

A surgeon want to use hip implants with ceramic bearing surfaces as the corrosion properties of ceramic is excellent and the life expectancy of the athlete is long. What advice would you give to surgeon on his choice of the bearing metal

Ceramic is typically a good biomaterial because it has similar properties as bone. However, ceramic has a higher elasticity modulus than bone and therefore causes stress shielding. The stress shielding will cause the bone around the hip to weaken because of wolf's law. With an athlete with a long life expectancy, having bone loss is not the best solution

In pre-tensioned pre-stressed concrete, a steel rod is stretched and concrete is poured on top. The concrete is allowed to cure over the stretched rod and then the force of the rod is released. The rod attempts to return to its original shape and introduces compression on the concrete that is cured

In selecting a material for the windshield of automobiles, what types of glass would you use? Propose a process that would keep glass shards from dispersing if the glass fractures.

Tempered glass is the best option for automotive windshields. To make tempered glass melted glass is cooled rapidly. The surface cools first & contracts, then the interior cools. The tension of the interior is directed outward as compression is applied to the surface, the only way for the glass to break is if the tension applied is bigger than the applied compression force. The tensile strength directs forces away from the centers of the glass

Describe how the addition of sodium oxide to a regular glass will affect the silica- glass network structure, and why are they added to silica glass?

The addition of sodium oxide to the regular glass is to lower the viscosity, so that it can be worked and form easier. The oxygen atoms at these oxides enter the silica network at pants of joining the silica tetrahedral and break up the network, producing oxygen atoms with unshared election. The sodium and potassium ions ionically bonded in the interstices of the network. By filling the same of the interstices, these ions promote crystallization of the glass

PVC tubing is being used for transporting water. If organic solvents are run through this tubing it becomes stiff and somewhat brittle. This is because:

The solvent removes plasticizer, raising the Tg.

Explain why prolonged weightless environment leads to bone loss

Wolf's law states that bone reacts to stress. Without weight on the bone, it is not being stressed and therefore stops remodeling & strenghthening in order to accommodate the weight being placed on it. When it stops remodeling, it weakens & is more easily corroded, leading to bone loss

Why does wood shrunk much more in the transverse direction than in the longitudinal direction?

Wood shrinks as moisture is eliminated when water is eliminated from exterior parts, the cellulose microfibuls become closer together and the wood becomes more dense. The wood shrinks transversely because the microfibuls are mainly oriented in the longitudinal direction
