Photoelasticity 1970-01-01
Photoelasticity is an experimental technique used to measure stress and strain in materials by utilizing the optical properties of transparent materials under mechanical stress. When a transparent material is subjected to stress, it exhibits birefringence, which means that it refracts light differently depending on the direction of the applied stress. This phenomenon is due to the change in the material's refractive index caused by the internal stress.
Photoresist 1970-01-01
Photoresist is a light-sensitive material used in various photolithography processes, commonly found in the manufacturing of semiconductors, microelectronics, and printed circuit boards.

Here’s how photoresist works: 1. **Application**: A liquid photoresist is uniformly applied to the surface of a substrate.
Polyelectrolyte adsorption 1970-01-01
Polyelectrolyte adsorption refers to the process by which polyelectrolytes—charged polymer chains—attach themselves to surfaces or interfaces, such as solid materials, colloids, or membranes. This phenomenon is important in various fields, including materials science, biochemistry, environmental science, and pharmaceuticals. ### Key Concepts: 1. **Polyelectrolytes**: These are polymeric molecules that carry charged groups (either positive or negative) along their backbone.
Polymer 1970-01-01
"Polymer" can refer to a couple of different concepts depending on the context: 1. **In Chemistry**: A polymer is a large molecule composed of repeating structural units known as monomers, which are connected by covalent chemical bonds. Polymers can be natural (like proteins, nucleic acids, and cellulose) or synthetic (like plastics such as polyethylene and nylon). They have diverse properties and applications, ranging from flexible materials to rigid structures, depending on their chemical composition and structure.

Crystal structure 1970-01-01
A crystal structure refers to the orderly arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline material. The arrangement is periodic, meaning that it repeats itself in three-dimensional space, forming a lattice structure. Each point in the lattice represents the position of an atom or a group of atoms, known as a unit cell, which is the smallest repeating unit that can describe the entire crystal structure.
Engineered cellular magmatic 1970-01-01
"Engineered cellular magmatic" isn't a widely recognized term in geology or materials science as of my last knowledge update in October 2021. It's possible that the term refers to a new or specialized field of study or a specific research project involving the engineering or manipulation of cellular structures (such as in biological or synthetic contexts) in conjunction with magmatic processes (relating to magma or molten rock).
Heterostrain 1970-01-01
Heterostrain refers to a type of strain that is not uniform throughout a material or structure, often resulting from differential expansion or contraction due to various factors such as temperature changes, phase transformations, or the presence of different materials. In materials science and engineering, heterostrain can occur in composites or layered materials where each layer or component may respond differently to external forces or environmental conditions. This phenomenon can lead to complex stress distributions, which can affect the mechanical properties, durability, and performance of materials.
