Description
This Concise Encyclopedia draws its material from the award-winning Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology,
and includes updates and revisions not available in the original set. This customized collection of articles provides a handy reference
for materials scientists and engineers with an interest in the structure of metals, polymers, ceramics and glasses, biomaterials, wood,
paper, and liquid crystals.
Materials science and engineering is concerned with the relationship between the properties and structure
of materials. In this context "structure" may be defined on the atomic scale in the case of crystalline materials, on the molecular scale
(in the case of polymers, for example), or on the microscopic scale. Each of these definitions has been applied in making the present
selection of articles.
Audience
Faculty and postgraduate research students in materials science and technology and related disciplines, especially physics, chemistry,
engineering and biomedical science; also researchers and staff in government and industry.
