| Materials | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Metals | Metals are a broad category of elements that usually have a shiny surface and grayish color. They are good conductors of electricity and heat and can be melted or fused, hammered into thin sheets, or drawn into wire. Common metals include steel, copper, gold, silver, tin, iron, lead, aluminum, and magnesium. | ||
| Plastics | Plastics are organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments. | ||
| Rubber | Natural or synthetic rubbers are high polymers characterized by their elasticity, high abrasion resistance, and fluid and chemical resistance. Natural rubber includes gum rubber (polyisoprene) and latex. Synthetic rubber includes many grades such as Norprene®, neoprene, and silicone. Norprene is a registered trademark of Norton Co. | ||
| Glass | Glass is a large class of materials with variable mechanical and optical properties that is formed by cooling from a molten state without crystallization. Glass is a hard, brittle material consisting or a mixture of silicates that is usually transparent or translucent. It is considered to be a cooled liquid rather than a true solid. | ||
| Stone / Marble / Granite | Stone is any concentrated earthy or mineral matter (rock). Granite is a hard natural igneous rock consisting chiefly of quartz, orthoclase or microcline, and mica. Marble is a metamorphic rock formed by the alteration of limestone. | ||
| Composites | A solid material comprised of two or more substances that have distinct properties. When merged, each substance retains its own characteristics while imparting the entire composition with beneficial properties. For example, a plastic material in which a fibrous framework is embedded for greater structural stability. | ||
| Foam | Any of various lightweight, porous, semi-rigid or spongy materials. | ||
| Other | Other, unlisted material. | ||
