Infos

Materials science predominantly covers compounds and their properties in their 'solid' phase, as opposed to their gaseous or liquid phases at 'room temperature'. This includes metals, polymers, and ceramics. This introduction is aimed at all engineers and scientists seeking a grounding in materials science.

---

A modern introduction to the subject taking a unique integrated approach designed to appeal to both science and engineering students. Covering a broad spectrum of topics, this book includes numerous up--to--date examples of real materials with relevant applications and a modern treatment of key concepts. The science bias allows this book to be equally accessible to engineers, chemists and physicists. aeo Carefully structured into self--contained bite--sized chapters to enhance student understanding aeo Questions have been designed to reinforce the concepts presented aeo Includes coverage of radioactivity aeo Relects a rapidly growing field from the science perspective
