Complementary metal oxide semiconductor - integrated circuit
containing n-channel and p-channel MOSFETs.
Codons
Organic bases in sets of three that form the genetic code.
Conductor
Material such as the metals copper or aluminum that conducts
electricity via the motion of electrons.
Copolymer
A polymer that consists of two or more dissimilar monomer units in
combination in its molecular chains. Also a polymer formed from
the polymerization of more than one type of monomer.
Corrosion
Deteriorative loss of a metal as a result of dissolution
environmental reactions.
Coulomb [C]
Measure of electrical charge: 1 C is an amount of charge equal to
that of about 6.24x1018 electrons.
Covalent bond
A primary interatomic bond that is formed by the sharing of
electrons between neighboring atoms.
Creep
The time-dependent permanent deformation that occurs under stress;
for most materials it is important only at elevated temperatures.
Cross-sensitivity
The influence of one measurand on the sensitivity of a sensor,
another measurand.
Crosslinked polymer
A polymer in which adjacent linear molecular chains are joined at
various positions by covalent bonds.
