The difference between traditional materials and functional materials

The difference between the two lies in their different contents and different uses.

1. Different contents: traditional materials refer to materials widely used in daily life and industry, such as metals, ceramics, plastics, glass, etc.; functional materials refer to materials with special functions or excellent properties, such as semiconductor materials, optical materials,

Biomaterials, nanomaterials, etc.

2. Different uses: Traditional materials are based on traditional manufacturing processes and material science knowledge, and have lower costs and wide applications; functional materials are based on modern materials science and engineering technology and are realized by changing their chemical composition, microstructure or surface properties.

Specific functions, widely used in high-tech fields.
