Synthetic or artificial building materials include brick, cement, glass, plastics, concrete, etc. They are obtained from artificial or natural raw materials, industrial or agricultural by­products with the help of special technologies. They differ from raw materials both in structure and chemical composition, due to their radical industrial processing.
According to their use, all materials are divided into several groups:
structural;
acoustic;
hermetic;
heat insulating;
waterproofing and roofing;
finishing;
for special purposes.
Structural materials perceive and transmit loads in building structures.
Acoustic materials are sound-absorbing and sound-insulating materials.
Hermetic materials are to be used for sealing joints and seams.
Heat insulating materials are designed to keep the heat inside a product, a room or any other space.
Waterproofing and roofing materials insulate building structures and elements from moisture.
Finishing materials are to improve the decorative qualities of building structures and products, as well as protect them from various external influences.
Materials for special purposes include refractory or acid resistant materials.
On a technological basis, building materials and products can be classified as follows:
22
Natural stone materials. This type includes wall blocks, facing tiles, crushed stone, gravel, etc. Rocks are used for their manufacture.
Products from mineral melts. They include materials made from glass and other similar substances.
Concrete and mortars are made from a mixture of binder, water, fine filler, sand, lime or gypsum. The resulting structure is often used for foundations.
Timber-based material products are obtained by mechanical processing of wood.
Organic binders and organic binders-based materials include bituminous and tar binders, roofing and waterproofing materials, S-isol, glassine, mastic.
Inorganic binders are mainly powdery components that form a viscous structure when interacting with water.
Polymeric materials are a group of materials obtained on the basis of synthetic polymers.
Metals and metal substances include ferrous metals and their alloys and non-ferrous metals.
Ceramic materials and products include such materials as bricks, tiles, ceramic tiles, porcelain and faience products. They are made from clay by special processing like annealing, firing, and drying.

MATERIALS SYNTHESIS AND PROCESSING
Fig. 6. Materials synthesis and processing
Part 1
Material processing holds the central place in the field of
Materials science and is a crucial point in the production process.
Materials synthesis and processing involves a complex series of chemical, physical, and thermal processes leading to the creation of a material with a given micro-nanostructure.
These processes are used to prepare the initial material, create the desired shape, fix this shape and improve the structure of the
material. Developing such material’s characteristics as shape, size,
crystalline structure and microstructure is the main challenge facing the Material processing. If these characteristics are studied and selected properly, the final product will serve safely and sustainably.
From an engineering point of view, before the use of any material in industry, a cost-effective production method must be
26
developed for it. There are many different methods of synthesizing or processing materials. For example, physical metallurgy, which is essentially the processing of metals, is studied in the field of Materials science. Chemical and physical methods are also used to synthesize other materials such as polymers, ceramics, thin films, etc. At the beginning of the 21st century, new methods for synthesizing materials are being developed. Production of graphene can be an example of synthesis of the advanced nanomaterial.
There are three steps in transformation of the starting material to the final product. They include:
1) preparation of the starting material;
2) processing operation;
3) post-processing operation(s).
Based on the state of matter, five categories of processing operations are identified. They are:
1) solid;
2) melt;
3) powder;
4) dispersion or solution;
5) vapor.
Metals, polymers and ceramics are formed by the operations of each category, so general scientific and engineering concepts can be understood and applied to different types of materials.
Task 1. Find the Russian equivalents for the following words and word combinations used in the text 5 (part 1).
Materials synthesis and processing; complex series of chemical, thermal, and physical processes; crystal structure; micro­nanostructure; starting material; final product; polymers, ceramics, thin films; melt, solid, powder, dispersion; solution; vapor; post­processing operations.

Task 2. Find the English equivalents for the following words and word combinations in the text 5 (part 1).
С инженерной точки зрения; синтезировать такие матери­алы, как полимеры; керамика; синтезировать наноматериалы, такие как графен; превращение исходного материала в конеч­ный продукт; материал в жидком, твердом или пластичном со-
стоянии; изменение свойств вещества.
Part 2
People have been trying to process different materials by hand since the beginning of civilization. The era of mechanization coincided with the Industrial revolution of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when the first machines for molding, casting, and cutting metals began to appear in Europe.
In order to give the desired shape for a material, being in a solid state, it is necessary to apply a certain force and pressure. The material to be processed may be in a relatively solid and stable state in the shape of a bar, sheet, granule or powder, or it may be in a soft, plastic or putty form. Both cold and hot states can be used in order to give the desired shape to a solid material.
Manufacturing Process Cycle is required for turning materials into parts and products. To start the cycle, raw materials must be produced from basic natural or chemical substances, or extracted from minerals.
The main functions of converting raw materials into finished products with these processes are to give the material the desired shape and improve the properties of that material.
Forming and shaping processes may be classified into two main types those performed on the material in a liquid state and those performed on the material in a solid or plastic condition. Casting is the common name for processing such materials as glass, metals, and ceramics, being in a liquid form. If the
28
processing involves plastics and some other nonmetallic materials, it is called molding.
The “joining process” includes welding, brazing, soldering, and
adhesive and chemical bonding. One type of energy or a combination of chemical, thermal, and mechanical energy can be used to create a bond between two pieces of material in most joining processes. If further modification of material properties is required, some types of radiation, mechanical operations, heat or cold treatment are used. As a result, the microscopic structure of the material changes.
The process where the temperature of a material rises or falls, resulting in changes of the original material properties, is called heat treatment. The basis of most heat treatment processes are time­temperature cycles. The stages of heating, holding at temperature and cooling are integral parts of these cycles. In some cases, a "finishing process" is required. It is used to protect the surface of a material from corrosion, mechanical wear, oxidation, or deformation. This method is also widely used to give the material special decorative effects, provide special surface characteristics, and improve its load­bearing properties, reflectivity, insulation, electrical conductivity.
There are two main groups of finishing processes. The first group is a process in which a coating, usually of a different material, is applied to the surface. Organic finishing (e.g. painting); metallic coating (e.g. electroplating) and porcelain enameling are included in the first group. The second group is a process in which the surface of the material is changed by chemical action, heat, or mechanical force.
