Description for An Introduction to Materials Science
Hardback. Aimed at the undergraduate students with basic skills in chemistry and physics, this book provides an introduction to the field of material science. It covers the topics, such as crystalline solids and defects, and describes the electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of matter; the phenomenon of superconductivity; polymers; and more. Num Pages: 200 pages, 138 line Illus. 10 tables. BIC Classification: TGM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 254 x 178 x 17. Weight in Grams: 628.
Materials science has undergone a revolutionary transformation in the past two decades. It is an interdisciplinary field that has grown out of chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering departments. In this book, Gonzalez-Vinas and Mancini provide an introduction to the field, one that emphasizes a qualitative understanding of the subject, rather than an intensely mathematical one. The book covers the topics usually treated in a first course on materials science, such as crystalline solids and defects. It describes the electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of matter; the unique properties of dielectric and magnetic materials; the phenomenon of superconductivity; polymers; and optical ...

Reviews for An Introduction to Materials Science
"An Introduction to Materials Science is a useful addition to the texts in the field... [I]ts contribution to a materials-science course or its ability to motivate individual study is likely to be significant."
