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.

The famous reference source H. R. Procter, The Principles of
Leather Manufacture, explores chemistry and the processes undertaken in the
manufacture of leather. Starting with a general overview relating to the
historical background and introduction concepts in leather manufacture, it
points to where the role of the living cell plays, the causative agents for
putrefaction, and also to antiseptics and disinfectants. It also covers the
chemical content of hides, the structure and growth of skin, and the
chemical processes by which it gets tanned - alum, chrome, and vegetable
tanning. The book also goes into the matter of physical chemistry of the
fibers of hides and water treatment in tanneries and methods for depilation,
deliming, and bating. The book is very valuable for any readers interested
in the chemical processes involved in leathering, giving both theoretical
knowledge and some practical insight into the tanning industry.
