Materials Science and Engineering: Concepts and Applications - by Heather Dale (Hardcover)

Product Description

About the Book The design and discovery of new materials falls under the domain of materials science and engineering. It primarily focuses on solids. It studies the factors which influence the structure, properties and performance of materials. The study of the relationship between the properties, structure and processing of materials is known as materials paradigm. The fields of nanotechnology, metallurgy and biomaterials have advanced with the understanding of this paradigm. The major categories of materials studied under this field include semiconductors, polymers, biomaterials, metals, nanomaterials and ceramics. The common methods of materials processing include welding, crystal growth…
