METALS Have particles The materials The characteristics They are durable, that are held should be of the materials strong and corrosion together by biocompatible and should include resistant. strong metallic wear resistance. strength and bonds. durability STEEL TITANIUM They are ALUMINUM strong and durable.
They are also
good conductors of electricity because of the free flowing electrons. ALLOYS Combinations They are used due It requires strength They are used due to of one or more to their high or stiffness in its tensile strength metals held strength, weight and low cost together by durability and performance metallic bonds inertness STAINLESS STEEL ALUMINUM ALLOY TITANIUM ALLOY CERAMICS They are They are hard, They are They are strong, nonmetallic, inert and durable lightweight, hard, resistant to inorganic solids materials. durable and have chemicals and frost with ionic or wear resistance. and have greater covalent They are dimensional stability. bonds. commonly used in They are commonly dental implants. used as equipment They are used as parts that receive abrasive, flooring, Crown impact roofing and wall tiles and countertops Rotors Porcelain POLYMERS Molecules with They are versatile They are known for They are used a large number biomaterials with durability and because of its of repeating applications on flexibility. durability, units of facial, orthopedic, impermeability, low covalently and dental They are used as thermal conductivity bonded chain prosthesis protective and low density. of atoms called equipment monomers. Polyethylene They are used in Trans 1,4 flooring, window polyisoprene pipes, insulation, and signage
