Can anybody tell me what chapters of this book are most relevant to materials science this year?

I just got put into this event for a competition on Saturday...

What are some of the more common things seen on tests, and are there any good overviews of what we need to know?

Know the basics of organic nomenclature, at least how to identify each group and name simple molecules.

Understand tensile tests and stress strain curves, if nothing else.

Understand what thermoset and thermoplastic polymers are, with at least limited detail.

Have some info about recycling codes and those 6 groups of polymers.

Hopefully, have working definitions and equations for other topics.

Hi guys,
So my school's scioly program is relatively less funded and we basically self study for all our events.
Can someone give me an overview of the math needed and topics that I should try to learn?
Thanks :)

The most relevant answer to your question is that Materials Science is rotating out next year, to be replaced by Protein Modeling. You can see a list of the predicted 2019 events here.

When will Materials Science most likely come back?

Expected return is 2023 if Envirochem comes into rotation and 2021 if not.

Ok thanks! (I hope they don't do Environmental Chemistry,though)
