Nonisotropic or anisotropic refers to a medium in which some characteristics depends on the direction in which the medium is studied.
A very common anisotropic material is wood. It is much easier to split it along its grain than across the grain.

Bakelite is considered a nonisotropic material. This means that its properties, such as thermal conductivity or electrical resistance, can vary depending on the direction in which they are measured within the material.
