six different property classifications of materials that determine their applicability
1. Metals
2. Ceramics
3. Polymers
4. Composites
5. Semiconductors
6. Biomaterials
Ceramics
Metallic and nonmetallic
Most frequently nitrides, oxides and carbides.
Insulative to the passage of electricity and heat
Resistant to high temp and harsh environments.
More then metals and polymers.
Metals
Combo of Metallic elements
Large number of non localized electrons (not bound to a particular atom)
Good conductors of electricity and heat.
Strong and deformable
Polymers
Plastic and rubber materials.
Organic compounds based on carbon, hydrogen, and nonmetallic elements
Large Molecular structure
Low density. flexible.
Composites
Consist of more then one type of material.
Fiberglass
Strength and flexibility
Recent developments include.
Semiconductors
utilized because of their unusual electrical characteristics.
electrical properties are in the middle of electrical and insulator conductors.
Sensitive to impure atoms.
Biomaterials
Implantation into body
Must not produce toxins and be compatible with body tissue.
All 5 materials can be used as biomaterials.
Advanced materials
materials that are utilized for high technology.
Smart Materials



components include
Materials are able to sense changes in their environments and then respond to these changes in predetermined manners
-sensor (that detects input)
-actuator (which preforms responsive and adaptive function.)
Actuator
performs re9sponsive and adaptive functions. are smart material.
Nanotechnology

type of approach
ability to carefully arrange atoms which provide opportunity to develop mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and other properties that are not otherwise possible.
“bottom-up” approach
Nonrenewable resources

which leads to
Polymers

1) the discovery of additional reserves
2) the development of new materials with renewable properties.
3) increased recycling efforts and the development of new recycling technologies.
four components that are involved in the design, production, and utilization of materials
Processing-

Structure- arrangement of its internal components.

Properties- reaction when exposed to external stimuli

Performance
three classifications of solid materials
metals, ceramics, and polymers
Criteria for picking a material
1. Maximum or ideal combination of properties (strength and ductility)
2. deterioration of material properties (lastingness)
3. economics: What will the finished product cost?
atomic weights of the elements generally not integers
1. atomic masses are usually not integers
2. taken as an average with the isotopes
atomic number

atomic mass
number of electrons

sum of protons and neutrons
valence electrons determin
chemical, mechanical, thermal and optical properties
n
