Externet Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 What material presents in greater magnitude the property of shrinkage when warm -say 25 Celsius and expand when cold -say 5 Celsius ?
Kyrisch Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Under pressure, water will freeze at a hotter temperature. Since ice is less dense that liquid water, this could possibly fit your description at >1 atm.
Moontanman Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Water, silicon, and bismuth expand on freezing.

swansont Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Rubber is another material that tends to contract upon heating. Long molecules, stretched when cold, but bent when heated.
