Classification of Materials
Like many other things, materials are classified in groups, so that our brain can handle
the complexity. One can classify them based on many criteria, for example crystal structure
(arrangement of atoms and bonds between them), or properties, or use. Metals, Ceramics,
Polymers, Composites, Semiconductors, and Biomaterials constitute the main classes of present
engineering materials.
