Chapter 1, Problem 1.10P

For each of the followign classes of materials, give two specific examples that are a regular part of your life:

  1. metals;
  2. ceramics;
  3. polymers; and
  4. semiconductors.

Specify the object that each material is found in and explain why the matenal is used in each specific application. Hint: One example answer for part (a) would be that aluminum is a metal used in the base of some pots and pans for even heat distribution. it is also a lightweight metal that makes it useful in kitchen cookware. Note that in this partial answer to part (a),a specific metal is described for a specific application.
