<i>Materials</i> are what the Source engine uses to define which <i>textures</i> (in .[[VTF]] file format) and <i>shaders</i> (functions which define how materials are rendered to the screen) are used on <i>surfaces</i> (models, world surfaces, sprites, etc). Materials are defined by parameters in .[[VMT]] files.
