elements
➢ In ‘pure’ form elements are not useful materials (except Gold and few
others)

Examples of Each Material Family
Elastomers
• Lack stiffness – low E (500 – 5000X less than
metals)
• Able to retain initial shape after being stretched
• Relatively strong and tough

Metals
• Tough – high KIC
• Stiff – high E
• Ductile
• Wide range of strengths depending on composition and
processing
• Thermally and electrically conductive
• Reactive – low corrosion resistance
Hybrids
• Expensive
• Difficult to shape and join
• Properties dependent on combination of
materials
