Human progress and development has always been marked by breakthroughs in the control of materials. Since prehistoric times, through the stone, bronze, and iron ages, humans have exploited their environment for materials that can be either used directly or can be modified for their benefit, to make their life more comfortable, productive, or to gain military advantage. One age replaces another when the material that is the basis for its sustainability runs its course and is replaced by another material which presents more qualities or functionalities.
