Our civilization owes its most significant milestones to our use of
materials. Metals gave us better agriculture and eventually the
industrial revolution, silicon gave us the digital revolution, and
we're just beginning to see what nanomaterials yield. Updated to
reflect the many societal and technological changes in the field
since publication of the first edition, Introduction to Materials
Science and Engineering, Second Edition, offers an
interdisciplinary view that emphasizes the importance of materials
to engineering applications and builds the basis needed to select,
modify, and create materials to meet specific criteria. The most
outstanding feature of this book is the authors' unique and
engaging application-oriented approach. By beginning each chapter
with a real-life example, an experiment, or interesting facts, the
authors wield an expertly crafted treatment that entertains and
motivates as much as informs and educates. The discipline is linked
to modern developments, such as semiconductor devices,
nanomaterials, and thin films, while working systematically from
atomic bonding and analytical methods to crystalline, electronic,
mechanical, and magnetic properties as well as ceramics, polymers,
corrosion, and phase diagrams. Updates in the Second Edition
References to advances in the field, including computational
thermodynamics, allowing computation of phase diagrams with great
accuracy and new materials Updated applications and technologies,
such as electric vehicles and the use of magnetic fields as a
processing tool Revised, practical end-of-chapter problems that go
beyond traditional plug-and-chug exercises to enhance learning More
examples with detailed solutions in each chapter A new chapter
highlighting how materials can impact four United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals This book is written for
undergraduate students and readers interested in introductory
materials science and engineering concepts. This concise textbook
provides a strong foundation in materials science engineering and
its applications. A solutions manual and PowerPoint lecture slides
are available for adopting professors.
