Engineering Materials Design, Properties and Fabrication [Hardcover]

Engineering materials is the study of the manufacture of new materials that provide solutions to a variety of problems. This field is a synthesis of various other scientific branches such as ceramics, metallurgy, chemistry and solid-state physics. Biomaterials, electronic materials such as semiconductors, optoelectronic devices, etc. are some of the widely used materials. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of engineering materials and their applications. The book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.Engineering materials is the study of the manufacture of new materials that provide solutions to a variety of problems.
