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. Understanding Solids: The Science of Materials is a new, integrated approach to the subject, and reflects the way this subject is increasingly taught. Covering a broad spectrum of topics, this book will include numerous up to date examples of real materials with relevant applications and a modern treatment of key concepts.
