  • Materials Science and Our Daily Lives: Historical Perspectives on Stuff

  • Look around your daily life and imagine how different life would have been 25, 50, 100, 250, 1000, or 5000 years ago. Ever wonder about the origins of paper, eyeglasses, cups, car windows, or cell phones? All of these everyday things that shape our daily lives have origins in material failures and breakthroughs. In this session, members will learn the fundamental concepts of materials science through examination of everyday things like toilet paper, plastic combs, razorblades, eyeglasses, aluminum cans, wine glasses, and beer steins to more advanced things like cell phones, computers, cars, aircraft, and satellites. These materials include metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, and composites. All of these things will be discussed with a historical perspective in mind which will highlight the origins of these everyday items, how they changed over time, and how they affect our current lives.
