Material

• Energy, information and material are three
  pillars of development of modern society.
• Materials can be classified according to its
  composition and characteristics
• 1)inorganic material metallic material, ceramic
  material, inorganic glass
• 2)polymer material synthetic polymer (plastic,
  synthetic fibre, synthetic rubber), other
  functional polymers
• 3)composite material combination of technical
  ceramic or polymer materials, resulting in
  superior properties.

2. Fine Ceramic

• Definition Made from fine grade material, with
  precisely controlled chemical composition. It is
  manufactured and processed with ease for
  structural design, control. It is ceramic with
  superior properties.
• High-temperature structural ceramics
• Transparent ceramics
• Heat resistant, high strength, high tensile
  strength ceramics
• Bio-ceramics
• Electronic ceramics
• Superconducting ceramics

3. Nano-ceramics

• Nano-technology
• Most material is in solid form
• particles are in the size of micro metre 10-6 or
  even nano metre (10-9)
• With great number of particles, surface area is
  great. A large proportion of atoms are on the
  surface of the particles
• Nano materials thus have uncommon surface effect,
  peripheral effect and quantum effects, resulting
  in a series of unique properties.

Chaper 2 Synthetic polymer material(organic
synthetic material)

• Based on the concept of polymer
• Traditional synthetic polymer including plastic,
  fibre, rubber etc.

1. Functional polymer

• Electric conducting polymer
• Medical polymer
• Biodegradable polymer
• Water absorbing polymer
