Product Description
Our civilization owes its most significant milestones to our use of materials. Metals gave us better agriculture and eventually the industrial revolution silicon gave us the digital revolution and we’re just beginning to see what nanomaterials yield. Updated to reflect the many societal and technological changes in the field since publication of the first edition Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering Second Edition offers an interdisciplinary view that emphasizes the importance of materials to engineering applications and builds the basis needed to select modify and create materials to meet specific criteria. The most outstanding feature of this book is the authors’ unique and engaging application-oriented approach. By beginning each chapter with a real-life example an experiment or interesting facts the authors wield an expertly crafted treatment that entertains and motivates as much as informs and educates. The discipline is linked to modern developments such as semiconductor devices nanomaterials and thin films while working systematically from atomic bonding and analytical methods to crystalline electronic mechanical and magnetic properties as well as ceramics polymers corrosion and phase diagrams. Updates in the Second Edition References to advances in the field including computational thermodynamics allowing computation of phase diagrams with great accuracy and new materials Updated applications and technologies such as electric vehicles and the use of magnetic fields as a processing tool Revised practical end-of-chapter problems that go beyond traditional plug-and-chug exercises to enhance learning More examples with detailed solutions in each chapter A new chapter highlighting how materials can impact four United Nations Sustainable Development Goals This book is written for undergraduate students and readers interested in introductory materials science and engineering concepts. This concise textbook provides a strong foundation in materials science engineering and its applications. A solutions manual and PowerPoint lecture slides are available for adopting professors.

Sellers offer a range of delivery options, so you can choose the one that’s most convenient for you. Many sellers offer free delivery. You can always find the postage cost and estimated delivery date in a seller’s listing. You'll then be able to see a full list of delivery options during checkout. These can include: Express delivery, Standard delivery, Economy delivery, Click & Collect, Free local collection from seller.
Returns
Your options for returning an item vary depending on what you want to return, why you want to return it, and the seller's return policy. If the item is damaged or doesn't match the listing description, you can return it even if the seller's returns policy says they don't accept returns. If you've changed your mind and no longer want an item, you can still request a return, but the seller doesn't have to accept it. If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit. By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within 14 days beginning from the day you receive, or a third party indicated by you (other than the carrier) receives, the last good ordered by you (if delivered separately). This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Refunds
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer. For payments funded partially by a card and partially by your balance/bank, the money taken from your card will go back to your card and the remainder will return to your PayPal balance.
