Abstract
The properties of materials can always be divided into three distinct, though inseparable, categories: intrinsic properties, processing properties, and product or article properties. It should be emphasized that these three categories of properties are strongly interrelated. Whereas intrinsic properties always refer to a substance, product properties refer to an entity; they also depend on size and shape. As the actual material properties are anchored in the chemical and physical structure of the material, all intrinsic properties relate to a material with a distinct processing history. Usually the change in chemical structure during processing is small compared with the change in physical structure. The intrinsic properties lend themselves to almost exact reproducible measurement. The processing properties are the combinations of some intrinsic properties that determine the possibility of processing materials and the efficacy of such operation.
