Short description
Introduction to Materials Chemistry guides advanced undergraduates and graduate students in chemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering step by step through the basic chemistry on which materials science depends and introduces them to the various classes of materials. It ends with a description of how materials are used in devices and general technology, covering semiconductors, superconductors, membranes, surface science, biomedical materials, nanoscience and nanotechnology, and more. Each chapter has questions and references. This is also a great resource for professionals working in materials science.
