Abstract:
The implementation of an advanced material that man used at the beginning of his journey on the road to civilization was a piece of stone. The stone weapon of the primitive man belongs to the group of material that today is called ceramic. The primitive man collected the stone directly from nature. It was used because of its property, i e. hardness, which is useful for hunting. The implementation that we would expect in the hand of 21st century man is a mobile phone, which is made from all sorts of engineered materials; electronic materials, metals, polymers, ceramic, composite etc. The materials used to make mobile phones are not just collected from nature nor did the fell in the hands of man by chance. Man had to put in tremendous efforts towards the extraction, design & development of these materials and to exploit their properties.
