When trying to indentify a specific material that has been delivered by truck one common difficulty you may encounter is that?

the material is in an enclosed package so you would never know what the material is through basic means of deduction such as all five senses.


What is the role of electrical engineering drawing for material engineering field?

One of the customers of a material engineer is an electrical engineer. To understand the customer and what he wants, a good material engineer needs to learn the basics of how to communicate with the customer. Engineers communicate through drawings so that means a material engineer needs to learn how to read/create electrical drawings.


Does microfiber material breathe?

The material comprises a fabric (typically a polyfluorinated polymer) that is water repellent, but which has microscopic holes in it. Microscopic drops of water from sweat, and water vapour itself, are small enough to get through the holes. Larger drops of water, such as those in rain, are too large to get through the holes, and so sit on the surface, experiencing the water-repellent properties of the material. It's by no means the same thing, but it's rather like the fact that sugar can pass through a sieve, whereas sugar lumps can't.

What is the difference between voidage and porosity?

"Porosity" can be used to refer to voidage of a granular material. Pporosity could also denote the relative volume of pores, cracks and spaces in the solid body, while voidage deals exclusively with the amount of spaces between particles in relation to the overall volume occupied by the granular material. Porosity is measure of void spaces in a material.voidage means the relative amount of space between materials that are tightly packed ..........


What is the function of the highly folded body walls of a large sponge?

Sponges are filter feeders. This means that they pull water through their bodies and eat whatever they can filter out of it. The more folds and spaces that a sponge has, the more spaces there are for it to filter. This is the reason that sponge bodies are full of holes and spaces.

What means that a material has spaces that allows water to seep through it?

There are two words with different meanings. POROUS - there are spaces through which gas or liquid can enter the material. (This actually applies to any surface having "pores" or openings.) PERMEABLE - gases or liquids can pass through (sometimes only some particular ones)
