Introduction
Classes of Materials
It is convenient to classify materials into broad categories for study. Many of the common characteristics of
materials within a category arise from the lowest level of structure, the nature of the atomic bond that holds
them together, and these similarities are aids to organizing our knowledge. The traditional classifications are:
• Metals
•
•
•
Ceramics (and glasses, which are usually made up of the same elements but with a different atomic
Polymers (or plastics, to use the more common name)
Composites (which combine several materials to achieve unique or economical combinations of
arrangement)
properties)
Some people (mostly those who use them) also distinguish electronic materials (semiconductors) as a
separate class. The properties of these various classes of materials are usually rather distinct. For instance,
metals are opaque to light and reflective. They are (usually) ductile, meaning that they can be bent before
they break. They are electrically and thermally conducting. On the other hand, ceramics and glasses are
usually brittle, can be transparent to light, and are good insulators. They are particularly useful at high
temperatures or in corrosive environments, since they retain their properties. Most polymers, on the other
hand, cannot withstand high temperatures. Most are insulators, and many are highly deformable (which is
the real meaning of the word, "plastic"), and some have unique elastic properties (rubber bands).
Semiconductors, of course, are distinguished by their electrical behavior. All of these property
characteristics, and the reasons they exist, are discussed in some detail in the chapters that follow.
It will be important to understand the differences between these classes of materials and how they arise from
the nature of the atomic bonds and the microstructure. But it will also be important to recognize that
comparisons are only meaningful based on similar measurement procedures. For example, mechanical
strength and ductility, sensitivity to the presence of cracks, and creep at high temperatures are measured in
the same ways for all classes of materials (of course, a high temperature for a polymer is much lower than it
is for a ceramic). The response of the materials to these tests is described in a consistent way, using the
same mathematical relationships and the same procedures for calculation.
One recurring theme in this course will be the Arrhenius relationship which describes the change in many
properties and characteristics with temperature. It applies to diffusion rates, creep at high temperatures,
viscosity of fluids, electrical conductivity in insulators and semiconductors, and more. It will obviously be to
the student's advantage to master the arithmetic of dealing with this relationship. But it will also be important
to understand that the reason this same expression appears so many times is that there is an idea behind it
that has a general validity. There is an activation energy needed to cause many processes to occur, and the
energy to overcome that barrier is obtained from thermal energy.
