"A pedagogical gem...Professor Readey replaces 'black-box'
explanations with detailed, insightful derivations. A wealth of
practical application examples and exercise problems complement the
exhaustive coverage of kinetics for all material classes." -Prof.
Rainer Hebert, University of Connecticut "Prof. Readey gives a
grand tour of the kinetics of materials suitable for
experimentalists and modellers...In an easy-to-read and
entertaining style, this book leads the reader to fundamental,
model-based understanding of kinetic processes critical to
development, fabrication and application of commercially-important
soft (polymers, biomaterials), hard (ceramics, metals) and
composite materials. It is a must-have for anyone who really wants
to understand how to make materials and how they will behave in
service." --Prof. Bill Lee, Imperial College London, Fellow of the
Royal Academy of Engineering "A much needed text filing the gap
between an introductory course in materials science and advanced
materials-specific kinetics courses. Ideal for the undergraduate
interested in an in-depth study of kinetics in materials." -Prof.
Mark E. Eberhart, Colorado School of Mines This book provides an
in-depth introduction to the most important kinetic concepts in
materials science, engineering, and processing. All types of
materials are addressed, including metals, ceramics, polymers,
electronic materials, biomaterials, and composites. The expert
author with decades of teaching and practical experience gives a
lively and accessible overview, explaining the principles that
determine how long it takes to change material properties and make
new and better materials. The chapters cover a broad range of
topics extending from the heat treatment of steels, the processing
of silicon integrated microchips, and the production of cement, to
the movement of drugs through the human body. The author explicitly
avoids "black box" equations, providing derivations with clear
explanations.
