The backbones of Nucleic Acids.

A Nucleic Acid Polymer that consists of Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine, and Thymine.

A membrane-like structure formed when Lipid that are also Amphipathic or Amphiphillic are placed into water, consisting of: Polar head (hydrophilic) 2 Nonpolar…

A ball-like structure formed when Amphipathic or Amphiphillic molecules are placed into water, consisting of: Polar head (hydrophilic) Nonpolar tail…

Same as Amphipathic where the molecule has polar and non-polar properties, but is used to describe more hydrophilic molecules.

Same as Amphiphillic where the molecule has polar and non-polar properties, but is used to describe more hydrophobic molecules.

Observed when a molecule with very little to no electronegativity is placed into water, where water molecules surrounding the new molecule is constrained.

Electrostatic forces are interactions between molecules that are not Covalent Bonds such as Ionic Bonds Hydrogen Bonds Van der Waals

Hydrogen Bonds are an Electrostatic Force formed via a Donor and an Acceptor A donor is a hydrogen bonded to an Oxygen or Nitrogen (rarely Sulfur) Acting as a…

Dipoles are when a Covalent Bond is formed with atoms of 2 different electronegativities.

A Dipole that is permanent.

Organic Compounds are compounds primarily revolving around Carbon and Hydrogen/

Covalent bonds are bonds that involve sharing pairs of electrons between atoms.

Directionality is when all covalent bonds are in the same orientation.

Biopolymers are Polymers formed from Amino Acid, Nucleotide, or Carbohydrate.

A Functional Group or Biochemical Linkage where a carbon is attached to a nitrogen and Carbonyl.

Monomers are organic compounds typically either as Amino Acid, Carbohydrate, Nucleotide, or Lipid.

A Functional Group or Biochemical Linkage which consists of a carbon attached to 2 oxygens, with 1 double bonded.

Carbohydrates or Monosaccharides are Monomer that are typically cyclical, but can be linear.

Lipids are Monomer that DO NOT form Polymer.

Monomers that consist of a Nitrogen base, a Sugar, and a Phosphate Functional Group.

Polymers formed by Nucleotide Monomers.

Amino/Amine is a Functional Group which is of $N$, $NH2$ or $NH3^+$.

Monomers that consist of the Amino Functional Group and Carboxylic Acid Functional Group Joining them together forms Amides that are called Peptide bonds, and…

Chemical Potential $\mu$ is the stability of a material and its tendency to change and chemically react to other substances.

Gibbs Free Energy is the maximum amount of energy that can be obtained from a system, related to Enthalpy and Entropy as follows: $$G=H-TS$$

Einstein Temperature $\thetaE$ is the temperature at which the Einstein Frequency occurs given the following relationship: $$\nuE=\frac{kB\thetaE}{h}$$ This…

Einstein Frequency is the vibration frequency in Lattice Vibration concerning an atom inside a crystal structure.

Lattice Vibration is the vibration that occurs due to the general "springiness" of atomic bonds in solids.

Polarization Curves are

Corrosion Design is designing materials with the intent of mitigating corrosion with its design as much as possible.

An electrolyte in an Electrochemical Cell is a substance that both the Anode and Cathode are in to allow ionic transfer of cathode -> anode.

A metallic path in an Electrochemical Cell is typically a conductor material which connects the anode and cathode together, typically alongside a battery as…

A cathode is part of the cell which typically undergoes Reduction in electrolytic cells such as Electrochemical Cells.

Oxidation is the state of a chemical losing electrons in a reaction.

Adam's 2-D Heat Equation provides the ability to calculate the temperature at a point in the weld pool depending on certain factors.

Cellular Dendrites are formed when the solid liquid interface is planar instead of cellular, in contrast to Cellular Dendrites.

Cellular Dendrites are formed when the solid liquid interface is cellular instead of planar, in contrast to Equiaxed Dendrites.

Flow stress is the stress observed on a material that undergoes Rolling.

Contact Length $(L)$ is the arc of the roller that is in contact with the material being rolled.

Deformation ultimately alters the shape of the material being used.

The Gating System in casting is used to control the flow of the melt used.

A Mold Cavity is formed by placing a Casting Pattern into molding material to create an empty area shaped for the mold.

A Casting Pattern is an object identically shaped on the outside to the desired object wanted, placed into molding material to create a Mold Cavity.

Casting Cores are objects used to create internal features of a cast such as holes, placed within a Mold Cavity

Injection Molding is a type of casting where the material/melt is injected into the mold at high pressure, and is ideal to produce high quantities/mass…

Die casting forces its melt into high pressure within the mold used compared to other casting methods.

Investment casting is a form of casting that is also as old as Sand Casting, using wax molds to create materials.
