This nanomodule introduces you to the main families of materials and shows how their properties are linked to the types of chemical bonds they’re made of. The goal is to help you understand how a material’s structure, shaped by its bonding, determines what it can do. In the first video, you’ll discover how the primary bonds (ionic, covalent, and metallic) connect to the main families of materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers). The following videos dive deeper into each family, highlighting their unique features and applications.
