Talk:Texture (chemistry)

Perhaps 'Crystalline' is too broad?

This is one of those embarrasing inconsistencies that helps isolate fields of science & mathematics. Geologists refer to the crystalline texture of minerals as their size only (not orientation), and the texture of rocks as the difference in sizes of minerals. What is defined as crystalline texture here is known as 'fabric' in rocks (natural crystals). Geologist (talk) 00:25, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

@Bruce Bathurst: I believe that fields of science and mathematics should not be isolated but rather integrated more with each other as well as with many more fields since they are all interrelated and dependent on each other. Hence I have requested for this article to be renamed to Texture (chemistry) since it is studied under physical chemistry (in solid state) and materials science is a subdiscipline of inorganic chemistry —CrafterNova ^{[ TALK ]  [ CONT ]} 07:01, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

I don't think that "chemistry" is the right suffix. I would suggest Texture (crystallography) and start the article with "In crystallography, materials science, and mineralogy, texture is ...."

This is also the case in the German Wikipedia (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textur_(Kristallographie))

Texture (crystalline) → Texture (chemistry) – All materials are not crystalline in texture. They can also be amorphous. Hence this article name should be have '(chemistry)' in it, since it is discussing texture of materials as a chemical property, or rather a physico-chemical property (since it is also studied in physical chemistry) —CrafterNova ^{[ TALK ]  [ CONT ]} 06:45, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Incorrectly listed in [[Category:Start-Class physics articles]]

On 4 December 2006, 13:12 (UTC), a bot named‎ Peelbot (talk) (contribs)‎ added this article to the above physics articles category, whereas I believe that is a chemistry article, more precisely that of physical chemistry, since texture as a physicochemical property (crystallinity or amorphousness) is studied in solid state and also in materials science, which is subdiscipline of inorganic chemistry. I hope this article is moved into correct categories, and I can help in doing so when consensus is reached. Thank you —CrafterNova ^{[ TALK ]  [ CONT ]} 07:14, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
