"Inert material" refers to a substance that does not react or interact with other substances. It remains stable and unchanging, having little to no effect on its surroundings.
Full definition
Intraocular lenses are made
of inert materials like polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) with flexible haptics to stabilize the lens within the capsular bag.
3D printing excels at creating intricately detailed 3D structures, typically from
inert materials like plastic or metal.
Although graphite is known as one of the most
chemically inert materials, we have found that graphene, a single atomic plane of graphite, can react with atomic hydrogen, which transforms this highly conductive zero - overlap semimetal into an insulator.

Landfill Tax operates at two rates: a standard rate for active waste (substances that either decay or contaminate land - which includes household waste); and a lower rate
for inert materials.

an inert material, so in order for it to release harmful chemicals it would need to be heated to extremely high temperatures, so most cloth diaper covers are considered «safe.»
TPU and PUL are
inert materials, meaning that when they not heated to above a certain temperature (extremely high, something like 400 + degrees Farenheit), no harmful chemicals are released.
The red colors indicate hot chaotic material and the blue show cold,
inert material.
However, plastic is not necessarily a bad material for the internal parts of a juicer like the auger, since the plastics used are food grade,
inert materials that won't react with acidic fruits and vegetables like metals often do, like drinking orange juice from a steel thermos.
The idea is that as the oxygen has been burned out of the exhaust gas, it is largely
an inert material that can be fed into the cylinder to absorb heat.
The option — mixing plutonium oxide with
an inert material and disposal in the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP)-- would require modifying the PMDA and increasing the statutory capacity of WIPP (operations at WIPP are currently uncertain due to the February accidental radiation release).
When a tooth is damaged, dentists repair it with
an inert material like ceramic, but these deteriorate.
An inert material with desirable electronic and other properties, graphene provides a canvas on which to design a broad range of useful materials.

an inert material to prevent future bacterial contamination.
A microchip is a tiny computer chip with an identification number programmed into it, and the chip is enclosed within
an inert material that is safe for your pet.
JMcK: It's a conceptual anomaly, and perhaps the lack of precision is what gives it a conceptual energy that
an inert material simply never could.
Nature merely supplies us with
inert materials.
Halvorson comments: «I've become interested in the notion of liveliness: the way that paintings are neither dead nor alive; they are neither living beings, nor
inert materials, but exist in that space in between... Certain things catch my eye, calling out to me in some way.
A wide selection of work proves how that primeval instinct — which leads to the representation of the human being, transferring its features on a pliant, durable, tridimensional medium — is still surprisingly up - to - date and well - present in artistic practice nowadays; here and since the dawn of time, we can see the attempt to embed
an inert material with rituals, memories but also events from real life, with the aim of consigning it — potentially — to eternity.
The three works acquired for New Art Gallery Walsall exemplify Lancaster's expressive use of paint, with which she introduces movement into
