Definition
A Material Class is a broad category used to group materials based on their fundamental physical and chemical properties. These classes represent the overarching types of materials, such as metals, plastics, ceramics, textiles, and composites, each of which shares common characteristics like structure, composition, and performance. Within each material class, materials are further subdivided into material families and material types, reflecting more specific properties, applications, and variations.
Material classes are used in various fields, including manufacturing, packaging, and engineering, to classify materials for specific uses, regulatory considerations, and environmental impacts (e.g., recyclability and sustainability).
