Classification of Materials (Ch. 1)
• Materials can be classified into many different categories
• Hybrids/Composites
• Semiconductors
• Elastic deformation:

• Plastic deformation:
• Ductility:
• Thermoplastics: long
molecular chains, not
rigidly connected
• Thermosets: stronger
but more brittle due to
tightly linked molecular
chains
• Very brittle
• Very brittle
• Often transparent
• Examples:
