Description
The study of materials is interdisciplinary in nature and requires knowledge of research in many related fields, such as physics, chemistry,
engineering and even biomedical science. Scientists and engineers working with materials increasingly need a medium for gathering relevant
information from the growing amount of literature available.
The Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology presents around 1,800
articles written by experts in their fields, resulting in a comprehensive coverage of this broad and wide-ranging subject. It is the
only encyclopedia available that covers all of materials science and technology, focussing on the following areas:
* Functional Phenomena
* Structural Phenomena
* Fundamental Core Theory
* Structural Materials
* Polymers and Materials Chemistry
* Functional Materials
This title is also available online via ScienceDirect – featuring extensive browsing, searching, and internal cross-referencing between
articles in the work, plus dynamic linking to journal articles and abstract databases, making navigation flexible and easy. Please contact
your librarian for more information about access to these products within your institution.
Audience
For faculty and postgraduate research students in materials science and technology and related disciplines (especially physics, chemistry,
engineering and biomedical science) and researchers and staff in government, or industrial institutes, working in materials science and
related areas.
