This document discusses materials science and various material properties. It begins by defining materials science and its focus on the internal structure and properties of materials. It then classifies and describes different types of materials like metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and semiconductors. Various mechanical, thermal, electrical, and other properties of materials are outlined. The document emphasizes that material properties are important for engineering design and that the appropriate material must be selected based on fabrication, service, and economic requirements.
