Different Uses Of Materials

Includes footage of natural materials being manipulated for human use and man made.

Different uses of materials. Semiconductor materials aren t exactly a conductor such as gold or a insulator such as glass but fall somewhere in between. These are some of the types of materials most commonly used. Each material can be used to make a range of different things. They are often made from silicon with controlled impurities added to change the properties of the material for different applications.

Materials and their uses. A spoon can be made from plastic wood or metal. It makes much more sense to classify materials according to the way we use them. Leather is a durable wrinkle resistant fabric and it can take on many different looks and feels based on the type of animal grade and treatment.

While cowhide is the most popular animal skin used for leather comprising about 65 percent of all leather produced almost any animal can be made into leather from crocodiles to pigs to stingrays. The following are common types of building material. That gives us building materials such as iron and steel glass and wood energy materials from coal and gasoline to peat and uranium materials for transportation. This short clip shows different materials such as metals wood and plastic in different forms.

It also shows that some objects may be made from different materials e g. This includes traditional materials such as wood and newer materials that are designed to meet a variety of modern construction requirements. Knowledge of materials allows for comparison of everyday materials e g. An object can be made out of different materials used together.

Metals wood and plastic are shown in different forms and the human uses for each material are highlighted. Semiconductors are primarily used in electronics including computing units and solar. A school desk for example may be made from wood plastic or metal or a mixture of all three materials. It shows the different ways in which each material can be used.

Building materials are materials that are used in the construction of buildings houses and other structures. For example wood can be used to make tables chairs spoons pencils shoes doors floors and many more things. Materials with different uses. Building material is material used for construction many naturally occurring substances such as clay rocks sand and wood even twigs and leaves have been used to construct buildings apart from naturally occurring materials many man made products are in use some more and some less synthetic.
