3. Characteristics of materials and processes
3.1 Material characteristics
For convenience, we divide them into :
intrinsic, material-specific characteristics that can be objectively measured and reproduced in any environment;
interactive characteristics, specific to a pair of two materials or to a material-environment pair ;
attributed characteristics, the value of which depends on the technical or economic, or even socio-cultural context in which it is assessed: state of scientific and technical knowledge, level of needs, current legislation, etc.

We have compiled a list of databases that provide information on materials and, in some cases, selection guides. For each database, we specify whether it is an online service or a diskette for personal computers. Some of these databases are free of charge, while others require payment.
