What are Materials?
Materials may be defined as substance of which something is
composed or made.
We obtain materials from earth crust and atmosphere.
Examples : Silicon and Iron constitute 27.72 and
5.00 percentage of weight of earths
crust respectively.
Nitrogen and Oxygen constitute
78.08 and 20.95 percentage of dry air
by volume respectively.

Why the Study of Materials is Important?
Materials are important in engineering in different areas, they are
designed:
To support load
To conduct electricity
To accept or reject magnetic
To transmit or reflect light
To save cost
To survive in hostile surrounding

Materials Science and Engineering
Materials science deals with basic knowledge about the
internal structure, properties and processing of materials.
Materials engineering deals with the application of
knowledge gained by materials science to convert materials to
products.

Types of Materials
Metallic Materials
Composed of one or more metallic elements.
Example:- Iron, Copper, Aluminum.
Metallic element may combine with nonmetallic elements.
Example:- Silicon Carbide, Iron Oxide.
Inorganic and have crystalline structure.
Good thermal and electric conductors.
Metals and Alloys
Ferrous
Eg: Steel,
Cast Iron
Nonferrous
Eg:Copper
Aluminum

Types of Materials
Polymeric (Plastic) Materials
Organic giant molecules and mostly noncrystalline.
Some are mixtures of crystalline and noncrystalline regions.
Poor conductors of electricity and hence used as insulators.
Strength and ductility vary greatly.
Low densities and decomposition temperatures.
Examples :- Poly vinyl Chloride (PVC), Polyester.
Applications :- Appliances,DVDs, Fabrics etc.

Types of Materials
Ceramic Materials
Metallic and nonmetallic elements are chemically bonded together.
Inorganic but can be either crystalline, noncrystalline or mixture of
both.
High hardness, strength and wear resistance.
Very good insulator. Hence used for furnace lining for heat treating
and melting metals.
Also used in space shuttle to insulate it during exit and reentry into
atmosphere.
Other applications : Abrasives, construction materials, utensils etc.
Example:- Porcelain, Glass, Silicon nitride.

Types of Materials
Composite Materials
Mixture of two or more materials.
Consists of a filler material and a binding material.
Materials only bond, will not dissolve in each other.
Mainly two types :o Fibrous: Fibers in a matrix
o Particulate: Particles in a matrix
o Matrix can be metals, ceramic or polymer
Examples : Fiber Glass ( Reinforcing material in a polyester or epoxy matrix)
Concrete ( Gravels or steel rods reinforced in cement and sand)
Applications:- Aircraft wings and engine, construction.

Types of Materials
Electronic Materials
Not Major by volume but very important.
Silicon is a common electronic material.
Its electrical characteristics are changed by adding
impurities.
Examples:- Silicon chips, transistors
Applications :- Computers, Integrated Circuits, Satellites
etc.

Recent Advances and Future Trends
Smart Materials
React to environment Stimuli.
Change their properties by sensing external stimulus.
Examples: Shape memory alloys used in the artery stents.
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices.

Recent Advances and Future Trends
Nanomaterials
Smaller than 100 nm particle size.
Materials have special properties.
Very hard and strong characteristics.
Research in progress.
Example: Carbon nanofiber reinforced plastic:
very light but stronger than metals.
