This section gathers the substances and manufactured materials engineering depends on, from structural metals and alloys to polymers, ceramics, and composites, each filed under the engineering field that developed or principally uses it. A material entry describes the substance's own properties and history of use, not the specific inventions built from it, which are filed separately in the inventions section.
