Abstract:
In this engineering report I will be researching about two different types of core materials in the world today, timber and polymers. I will show what these materials are used, the availability of the materials and environmental impact.
This report is to show what are the materials used for and the environmental impact on society and also the world.
Introduction:
Timber is a naturally occurring organic material. There are more than 30,000 species of tree throughout the world, producing timber with a wide range of properties, providing the designer with an almost unlimited choice for both structural and decorative applications.
Polymer is a naturally occurring or synthetic compound consisting of large molecules made up of a linked series of repeated simple monomers. Polymer is a popular usage suggests plastic.
In this report I will demonstrate to the audience the properties of timber and polymers, what they are used, availability of the material and environmental impact.
Methodology/Procedure:
Photos of the Materials: Timber:
Photos of Polymers:
1. Timber is a naturally occurring organic material. There are more than 30,000 species of tree throughout the world, producing timber with a wide range of properties, providing the designer with an almost unlimited choice for both structural and decorative applications.
2. Timber is used for many various types of processes, furniture, paper and houses/homes etc. They use timber because it is a high strength material very difficult to break and damage.
3. There were 3 454 million hectares of forest, including some 3 221 million hectares of natural forest, throughout the world as of 1995. It is estimated that about 48.5 percent of natural forests are potentially available for timber harvest. Global distribution and availability diverge significantly by...
