Materials and Properties

Materials information resources relevant to chemical and process engineering.

• Biomedical Engineering Center, University of Minnesota
  A resource for information about biomedical engineering research and education at the University of Minnesota and medical device development and manufacturing in Minnesota's "Medical Alley." Research focuses on the effort to develop novel biomaterials, tissue analogs, and pharmaceuticals based on advances in cell adhesion, biointerfacial engineering, and biotechnology.
• British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority
  Describes the corporation and includes descriptions of BC Hydro Subsidiaries and the services they provide. Also describe software products including a Material Safety Data Sheet Program.
• Ceramic Material Database, San Diego State University
  This is a factual database on clays, ceramics, feldspar, etc. It has such data as MW, Molecular Analysis, and Percentage Analysis. (Select the Material Database.)
• Fisher Scientific, Chemicals Catalog.
  Includes links to Materials Safety Data Sheets.
• Fraunhofer Institute Ceramic Technologies and Sintered Materials Dresden, Germany
  Provides data, results, publications on development of materials, technologies and prototype ceramic components and functional elements high-performance functional ceramics as well as product and process innovations. Also provides a link to a Technical Ceramics Page which contains references to WWW, gopher, or ftp servers in the area.
• Lanxide Coated Products
