Description
The fundamental concepts that underpin materials science are explored in this concise and accessible book. From thermodynamic stability to quantum behaviour, and from defects in crystalline materials to active matter, the author sets out the essential principles that govern the properties of materials. These concepts have far-reaching implications for mainstream chemistry, physics, and biology, as well as engineering and technology. The book provides a unique insight into the essence of materials science, making it an ideal resource for pre-university students, undergraduates, and graduates in other subjects considering postgraduate study in materials science. Professional materials scientists will also find this book stimulating and thought-provoking, offering a fresh perspective on the subject.
