Industry-Materials: Week 1
The materials are (substances natural or artificial ) that are used to build other
things. Each industry uses specific materials. For example, for the
construction industry metals, cements and ceramics , among others, are used
as materials , while in the textile industry cotton, wool and synthetic products
are used .
For example, if we want to know why oil forms a layer on the surface of water,
we will be interested in two properties: solubility and density . Other properties
such as toughness, color, odor or conduction of electricity will be less
important.
