Tech/Engineering - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.)
English term or phrase: engineered materials
Hallo, ein Auszug aus einer wissenschaftlichen Datenbank.

"This database is a comprehensive index to world literature on **engineered materials** such as polymers, plastics, rubber, ceramics and composites".

Mein Übersetzungsvorschlag:

"Diese Datenbank enthält ein umfassendes Verzeichnis an internationaler Literatur über **konstruierte Materialien** wie z. B. Polymer, Plastik, Gummi, Keramik und Kompositwerkstoffe."

Was ist eurer Meinung nach eine gute Übersetzung für "engineered materials"?

Danke!

maschinengeformte/maschinenbearbeitete Teile


Explanation:
Wenn es nicht nur um den reinen Werkstoff in inbearbeiteter Form geht, dann einer von beiden genannten Termini. Man denke an "engineered wood". Das ist dann "mit Maschinen hergestellter Holzverbundstoff".
