Alloys are not considered advanced materials because they are not new or innovative materials. They are simply mixtures of two or more metals.

What is the primary advantage of using nanomaterials?

  1. Increased strength

  2. Enhanced electrical conductivity

  3. Improved chemical reactivity

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Nanomaterials have a number of advantages over traditional materials, including increased strength, enhanced electrical conductivity, and improved chemical reactivity.

Which of the following is NOT a potential application of biomaterials?

  1. Artificial organs

  2. Drug delivery systems

  3. Tissue engineering

  4. Solar cells


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Solar cells are not a potential application of biomaterials because they do not involve the use of biological materials.

What is the main advantage of using composites?

  1. Lightweight

  2. High strength

  3. Corrosion resistance

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Composites offer a number of advantages over traditional materials, including lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance.

Which of the following is NOT a type of composite?

  1. Fiber-reinforced polymers

  2. Metal-matrix composites

  3. Ceramic-matrix composites

  4. Polymer-matrix composites
