Kinds of Materials
Metals: valence electrons are detached
from atoms, and spread in an 'electron sea'
that "glues" the ions together. Strong,
ductile, conduct electricity and heat well, are
shiny if polished.
Ceramics: are generally compounds
between metallic and nonmetallic elements.
Typically they are insulating and resistant to
high temperatures, hard brittle, insulators.
Example: glass, porcelain.

Kinds of Materials
Plastics: (or polymers) are generally
organic compounds based upon carbon and
hydrogen. They are very large molecular
structures. Usually they are low density and
are not stable at high temperatures.
Examples: plastics, rubber.
Semiconductors: the bonding is covalent
(electrons are shared between atoms). Their
electrical properties depend strongly on
minute proportions of contaminants.
Examples: Si, Ge,

Piezoelectric Materials
Piezoelectric materials are most widely
used as sensors in different
environments. They are often used to
measure fluid compositions, fluid
density, fluid viscosity, or the force of
an impact. An example of a
piezoelectric material in everyday life
is the airbag sensor in your car. The
material senses the force of an impact
on the car and sends and electric
charge deploying the airbag.
