electrical properties
fusibility
the quality of being fusible or convertible from a solid to a liquid state by heat.
expansion & contraction
the quality or state of being contracted.
the state or quality of being expanded.
is a fundamental property of a material that quantifies how strongly that material opposes the flow of electric current.
conductors
density
the degree of compactness of a substance.
optical
relating to sight, especially in relation to the action of light.
transparent
having the property of transmitting rays of light through its substance so that bodies situated beyond or behind can be distinctly seen.
translucent
permitting light to pass through but diffusing it so that persons, objects, etc., on the opposite side are not clearly visible
opaque
not transparent or translucent; impenetrable to light; not allowing light to pass through.

CHEMICAL
corrosion
the process of corroding or being corroded.
oxidation
the process or result of oxidizing or being oxidized
ECOLOGICAL
