The tremendous densities reached in the centers of neutron stars provide a high pressure environment in which exciting particles processes are likely compete with each other and novel phases of matter may exist. The particle processes range from the generation of hyperons, to quark deconfinement, to the formation of kaon condensates and H-matter. Another striking possibility concerns the formation of absolutely stable strange quark matter. In the latter event all neutron stars could in fact be strange (quark matter) stars, which would be largely composed of pure quark matter possibly enveloped in a thin nuclear crust made up ordinary hadronic matter. This paper gives an overview of the properties of both classes of stars.
