The following definitions were used in this disclosure:
Beacon: As used in this disclosure, a beacon refers to a detectable signal that draws the attention of a person or a device to a location. A beacon is commonly used as a guide to the location or as a warning signal about the location. A beacon that draws the attention of a person using an audible signal is called a siren.
Bulk Solid: As used in this disclosure, a bulk solid is a material that is formed from an accumulation of discrete particles. While the discrete particles of the bulk solid are solid materials, in aggregate the physical performance of bulk solid will exhibit fluid characteristics such as flow or taking 8 the shape of a container.

Cement and Concrete are amongst the most commonly used construction materials.
Chemical: As used in this disclosure, a chemical refers to a substance of a known or fixed composition. The term chemical is used to describe the substance when the details of the composition of the substance or properties of the substance are considered relevant to the disclosure at bar. The term properties is taken to mean both the measurable properties of the substance and the interactions of a first chemical with a second chemical. The term compound refers to: a) a chemical structure that comprises a one or more chemical bonds; or, b) a unified chemical structure formed from mixture of chemicals. The term compound is informally considered a synonym for the term chemical. The term chemistry refers to the study and the use of the knowledge of the composition and properties of chemicals. The terms chemical reaction refers to the interactions between two or more chemical structures. The reactants of a chemical reaction refer to the chemical structures used to initiate the chemical reactants. The products of a chemical reaction refer to the chemical structures that are present at the completion of the chemical reaction.
Chemical Bond: As used in this disclosure, a chemical bond refers to an attractive force between a first molecule or atom and a second molecule or atom. The primary bonds include, but are not limited to, covalent bonds, ionic bonds, and hydrogen bonds.
Colloidal Suspension: As used in this disclosure, a colloidal suspension, or colloid for short, is a heterogeneous mixture of solute particles dissolved in a solvent. The colloidal suspension is referred to as heterogeneous because the distribution of the solute particles is not uniform through the solvent, usually because of the relatively large size of the particles. When the solvent is a gas, a colloidal suspension is often referred to as an aerosol.
Covalent Bond: As used in this disclosure, a covalent bond refers to a chemical bond between a first atom and a second atom wherein the first atom and the second atom share each share one or more electrons with each other. This is in contrast to an ionic bond.
Copolymer: As used in this disclosure, a copolymer is a polymer formed from two or more repeating molecules (also referred to as monomers).
Environment: As used in this disclosure, an environment refers to the physical conditions surrounding an object. The term environment is often limited to the physical conditions that the object interacts with.
Fluorescence: As used in this disclosure, fluorescence is the emission of electromagnetic radiation, especially visible light, resulting from the absorption of stimulating radiation and persisting only so long as the stimulating radiation is continued. In a secondary usage, fluorescence will also refer to the electromagnetic radiation that is emitted as described above.
Fluorescent: As used in this disclosure, fluorescent is an adjective that is used to describe an object that exhibits or is capable of exhibiting fluorescence.
Hydrogen Bond: As used in this disclosure, a hydrogen bond refers to an electrostatic attraction between: 1) a cation and an anion; 2) a cation and a negative dipole; or, 3) an anion and a positive dipole. The exchange of electrons (as would occur in an ionic bond or covalent bond) does not occur in a hydrogen bond. As a rule, the energy to break an ionic bond is less that the energy required to break a covalent bond or an ionic bond.
Ion: As used in this disclosure, an ion is an atom or a molecule with a net electric charge.
Ionic Bond: As used within this disclosure, an ionic bond refers to a chemical bond between a first atom and a second atom wherein the first atom takes an electron from the second atom. This is in contrast to a covalent bond.

The term iridescent is an adjective that is used to describe an object that exhibits or is capable of exhibiting iridescence.
Luminescence: As used in this disclosure, luminescence is the emission of light through phosphorescence, fluorescence or bioluminescence by processes that derive energy from non-thermal sources such as chemical, biochemical, crystallographic changes, and the motion of subatomic particles or the excitation of an atomic system by radiation. This definition explicitly excludes light generated through incandescence which is taken to be thermally generated visible radiation. The term luminescent is an adjective that is used to describe an object that exhibits or is capable of exhibiting luminescence.
Monomer: As used in this disclosure, a monomer refers to a molecular structure that bonds to itself in a repeating manner to form a polymer.

Phosphorescence: As used in this disclosure, phosphorescence is the emission of electromagnetic radiation, especially visible light, resulting from the absorption of a stimulating radiation. Phosphorescence differs from fluorescence in that a phosphorescent emission will continue after the stimulating radiation has been discontinued.
Phosphorescent: As used in this disclosure, phosphorescent is an adjective that is used to describe an object that exhibits or is capable of exhibiting phosphorescence.
Pigment: As used in this disclosure, a pigment is a first material that is used to control the shade of a second material. Plasticity: As used in this disclosure, plasticity refers to a material that is easily shaped or molded.
Non-Polar Molecule: As used in this disclosure, a non-polar molecule refers to a molecular structure that: a) is electrically neutral; and, b) has a uniform spatial distribution of the electrons within the molecule.
Polar Molecule: As used in this disclosure, a polar molecule refers to a molecular structure that: a) is electrically neutral; but, b) does not have a uniform spatial distribution of the electrons within the molecule. A polar molecule will present one or more electrically positive poles and the same number of electrically negative poles within the molecular structure.
Polarity: As used in this disclosure, the term polarity is used to describe a physical property or physical characteristic wherein: 1) the physical property or physical characteristic manifests two opposing attributes, tendencies, characteristics, or principals; and, 2) the two opposing attributes, tendencies, characteristics, or principals have an intrinsic separation, alignment, or orientation.

Solution: As used in this disclosure, a solution is a uniform mixture of two or more compounds in a liquid phase. The major component selected from the two or more compounds that forms the solution is called the solvent. The components remaining in the two or more compounds are called the solute. A polar solvent is a solvent formed from polar molecules. A non-polar solvent is a solvent formed from non-polar molecules. The rule of thumb that “like dissolves like” states that: a) solutes formed from polar molecules will dissolve in polar solvents but will not dissolve in non-polar solvents; and, b) solutes formed from non-polar molecules will dissolve in non-polar solvents but will not dissolve in polar solvents.
Water: As used in this disclosure, water (CAS 7732-18-5) is a molecule comprising two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen molecule. The phase of water at normal temperature and pressure is liquid. As used in this disclosure, the definition of water is expanded to include dilute water-based solutions of salts and ionic structures using water as the solvent. Water in a gas phase is often referred to as steam. Water in a solid phase is often referred to as ice. Snow refers to a bulk solid form of ice.
Viscosity: As used in this disclosure, viscosity refers to the resistance of a liquid or an elastic material to deformation. Higher viscosity would refer to a greater resistance to flow or to deformation. The term centipoise refers to the units of measurement of viscosity in a liquid. In this disclosure: a) a viscosity of greater that 80 centipoise is considered a high viscosity; and, b) a viscosity of greater than 2000 centipoise is considered a gel like viscosity.
