Historically, the development and advancement of societies have been intimately tied to the members’ ability to produce and manipulate materials to fill their needs. In fact, early civilisations have been designated by the level of their materials development (Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age)

CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS

COMPOSITES

SEMICONDUCTORS

BIO-MATERIALS

LIQUIDS

Metallic materials are normally combinations of metallic elements. They have large numbers of non-localized electrons; that is, these electrons are not bound to particular atoms. Many properties of metals are directly attributable to these electrons. Metals are extremely good conductors of electricity and heat and are not transparent to visible light; a polished metal surface has a lustrous appearance. Furthermore, metals are quite strong, yet deformable, which accounts for their extensive use in structural applications.

Ceramics are compounds between metallic and nonmetallic elements; they are most frequently oxides, nitrides, and carbides. The wide range of materials that falls within this classification includes ceramics that are composed of clay minerals, cement, and glass. These materials are typically insulative to the passage of electricity and heat, and are more resistant to high temperatures and harsh environments than metals and polymers. With regard to mechanical behavior, ceramics are hard but very brittle.

POLYMERS / PLASTICS

Polymers include the familiar plastic and rubber materials. Many of them are organic compounds that are chemically based on carbon, hydrogen, and other nonmetallic elements; furthermore, they have very large molecular structures. These materials typically have low densities and may be extremely flexible.

CERAMICS

Ceramics are compounds between metallic and nonmetals. Most commonly oxides, nitrides or carbides. T h e y a r e Strong and stiff. They are as strong as metals, but much more brittle. However, modern material science has overcome some of the brittle nature of these materials and now they are used in a variety of technological devices. Generally transparent but often opaque as well. The bonding in ceramics is generally a mixture of covalent one ionic.

LIQUIDS

COMPOSITES

Two or more materials from any category. These are blended together in order to obtain characteristics from both materials. The properties of these materials can be extremely varied. Examples of composites include bone and wood from biology. A more modern example would be carbon fibres trapped in a polymer resin for tennis racquet.

which is also a function of the interatomic separation, as also plotted in Figure2.8a. When FA and FR balance, or become equal, there is no net force; that is,

FA ! FR " 0 (2.3)

Then a state of equilibriumexists.The centers of the two atoms will remain separatedby the equilibrium spacing r0 , as indicated in Figure 2.8a. For many atoms, r0 isapproximately 0.3 nm (3 A). Once in this position, the two atoms will counteractany attempt to separate them by an attractive force, or to push them together bya repulsive action.

Sometimes it is more convenient to work with the potential energies betweentwo atoms instead of forces.Mathematically, energy (E) and force (F) are related as

E " ! F dr (2.4)

Or, for atomic systems,

in which EN , EA , and ER are respectively the net, attractive, and repulsive energiesfor two isolated and adjacent atoms.

such as the orbit of the moon around the earth when acted on by the same force—a thought process that requires a leap of the imagination by a factor of 106 in time, 108 indistance, and 1024 in mass.

But trouble was just round the corner. In 1662 Robert Boyle (1627–1691) published hisfamous gas law, PV ¼ constant. Twenty-five years later, Isaac Newton (1642–1727) pub-lished his famous law of gravity. Boyle’s Law suggested that molecules repel each other(the pressure P in PV ¼ constant is repulsive), while gravity suggested that they attract.Newton also concluded that the molecules of a gas must ultimately attract each other,since they condense into liquids or solids. These apparent contradictions sowed the first ofmany seeds that were to lead to heated controversies in the two centuries to come.
