CONTI...
Metals and their alloys : such as iron,steel,aluminium,copper,nickel,etc.
The ferrous metals : are those which have iron as their main constitutent.
Such as iron,steel &cast iron.The non-ferrous metals : are those which has a
metal other than iron as their main constituent. Such as alluminium,copper,tin,zinc,etc.Non-metals : such as

POLYMER
The basic structural units of polymers are referred to as monomers.
A polymers is therefore , made up of thousands to form a large molecule of colloidal dimension , called macromolecules.
The process by which polymers are formed is a chemical reaction known as polymerization.
There may be naturally occurring polymers or synthetic polymers.
Polyethylene ,polytyrene, nylon ,terelene,dacron,etc. are the synthetic polymers.

Low density , good corrosion resistance , excellent surface finish , good insulator etc. are some of the characteristics of polymer.
Applications:Polymers are used for making high structure
fibers like silk and wool.They are also used in optical industries ,
reflectors , packaging and coating material etc.

COMPOSITE MATERIALS
A composite material is defined as a combination of more than one materials which are used in combination to rectify a weakness is one material by a strength in another.
This combination of two or more materials offers properties distinctly different from those of the individual materials used to make the composite.
Composites may be man-made or natural.Wood material obtained from tress is also a
composite which is formed naturally.Wood consists of strong and flexible cellulose fibers
surrounded by a stiff material called lignin.
