composite material
composite material or composite, any material made from at least two discrete substances, such as concrete. Many materials are produced as composites, such as the fiberglass -reinforced plastics used for automobile bodies and boat hulls, but the term usually is used to describe any of various...

Composite materials
Composite materials A composite material (or just composite) is a mixture of two or more materials with properties superior to the materials of which it is made. Many common examples of composite materials can be found in the world around us. Wood and bone are examples of natural composites. Wood... Read more |

Breccia
Breccia Breccias are rocks composed of angular clasts (fragments). In monomictic breccias, clasts have the same composition, whereas polymictic breccias contain clasts of different compositions. Sedimentary breccias comprise more than 30% gravel-size (>2mm) angular clasts produced by mechanical... Read more |

Fiberboard
Fiberboard Background Composite forest products, or engineered wood, refer to materials made of wood that are glued together. In the United States, roughly 21 million tons (21.3 million metric tons) of composite wood are produced annually. The more popular composites... Read more |

composition board
composition board wood product produced in the form of a board or sheet, formed of cellulose fibers or particles derived from wood or other sources, and used principally as a building material. The oldest type of composition board is a relatively dense material known as hardboard, discovered... Read more |

ash (combustion)
ash in chemistry, solid residue of combustion. The chemical composition of an ash depends on that of the substance burned. Wood ash contains metal carbonates (e.g., potassium carbonate) and oxides formed from metals originally compounded in the wood. Coal ash usually has a high content of minerals... Read more |

diagenesis
diagenesis The term ‘diagenesis’ is attributed to von Gumbel who coined it at the end of the nineteenth century. It includes all processes which affect sediments after their deposition and during burial, excluding the effects of tectonism and metamorphism. Diagenesis usually, but not... Read more |

organum
organum , in music, compositional technique, developed in Europe during the 10th cent., in which each note of Gregorian chant melody was doubled by another note. In the earliest examples, called parallel organum, the doubling interval was constant, usually the lower fourth or fifth. In the 12th... Read more |

Kinetics
Kinetics Chemical kinetics is the study of the rates of chemical reactions. Such reaction rates range from the almost instantaneous, as in an explosion, to the almost unnoticeably slow, as in corrosion. The aim of chemical kinetics is to make predictions about the... Read more |
