The Effect of Material Structure on Properties and Uses

The video discusses the structures of common materials like alloys, ceramics, and polymers and how they affect their properties and uses. Examples of alloys include bronze, brass, and stainless steel. Ceramics, made from sand or clay, are also discussed, along with their specific types like borosilicate glass and clay ceramics. The video also covers the properties and uses of different types of polymers, such as polythene and polypropylene, which are made up of long chain molecules.
