Textbook in PDF format

This book is an introductory work on the broad topics included in Materials Science. It encompasses a number of different materials classes and properties with a focus on the structure-property relationships between them. Each class of materials will include and discuss recycling techniques and other green methods of production. Materials Chemistry: For Scientists and Engineers is ideal for all newcomers to the fi eld as well as for those seeking a knowledge of solid state chemistry.
Covers topics including solid state materials, chemical bonding, structure of matter, crystalline and amorphous materials, polymers, metals, magnetic materials, defect structures, electronic materials, biomaterials, Ceramics and glasses.
