This lecture note
covers all the essential issues that need to be understood by an engineer
concerning the interplay between materials, structure, and properties.
Issues such as metallurgy, crystal physics, and Neumann's symmetry principle
are dealt with in detail. Equilibrium thermodynamics, neutron diffraction,
and spectroscopy are also touched on, with all discussions on the major
classes of materials and the emerging field of nanostructured materials.
Focusing on practical applications, it also takes into discussion the most
recent concepts, like Moore's Law and their implications to materials
engineering. Dedicated to the students and professionals in engineering,
this note establishes a scientific basis in choosing and performing the
materials.

The book is for students and offers an accessible introduction to
advanced material chemistry. The book is written in simple and
easy-to-understand language and focuses on self-learning, as students are
expected to penetrate the complex concepts of material science. It stresses
the role of materials chemistry in developing new technologies and materials
with specific properties for various applications. This book discusses
synthesis, characterization, and application with various materials and
their structural and chemical behaviors. The students shall be enlightened
on the advanced developments in material chemistry. Students will find a
firm foundation for further subjects through this text, which is perfect for
beginners and intermediate learners who wish to deepen their understanding
of the subject.

This textbook, authored by Dr. Swati
Gangwar and Mr. Kapil Kumar, comprehensively covers the very basics of
material science and engineering. Classifications of materials are taken up
as metals, polymers, composite materials, and biomaterials; their properties
and applications are described. Crystal structures are discussed in terms of
Bravais lattices, Miller indices, and atomic packing factor. Students will
also be introduced to X-ray crystallography and how it might be applied for
the determination of inner structure of the materials. Its clarity in
structure and rich detail make it extremely useful for courses ranging from
introductory to advanced in material science and engineering. Significant
emphasis throughout the text, quite markedly, on the importance of
understanding material properties and their relationship with structure
toward an effective design and application of an engineering material.
