POE 2.1 Materials Quiz

What are the three main types of materials?

• plastic, rubber, and fabric

• wood, glass, and paper

• metals, ceramics, and polymers

• stone, concrete, and asphalt

Give an example of a metallic material and a polymer material.

• Gold and silicone

• Aluminum and nylon

• Copper and PVC

• Iron and polyethylene

Explain the difference between ceramics and composites.

• Ceramics are made from metal and composites are made from plastic

• Ceramics are inorganic, non-metallic materials made from clay and other natural resources, while composites are materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties.

• Ceramics are flexible and composites are rigid

• Ceramics are a type of metal and composites are a type of glass

What are the mechanical properties of materials?

• Behavior under applied forces

• Chemical composition

• Electrical conductivity

• Color and texture
