This textbook, authored by Dr. Swati
Gangwar and Mr. Kapil Kumar, comprehensively covers the very basics of
material science and engineering. Classifications of materials are taken up
as metals, polymers, composite materials, and biomaterials; their properties
and applications are described. Crystal structures are discussed in terms of
Bravais lattices, Miller indices, and atomic packing factor. Students will
also be introduced to X-ray crystallography and how it might be applied for
the determination of inner structure of the materials. Its clarity in
structure and rich detail make it extremely useful for courses ranging from
introductory to advanced in material science and engineering. Significant
emphasis throughout the text, quite markedly, on the importance of
understanding material properties and their relationship with structure
toward an effective design and application of an engineering material.
The book is for students and offers an accessible introduction to
advanced material chemistry. The book is written in simple and
easy-to-understand language and focuses on self-learning, as students are
expected to penetrate the complex concepts of material science. It stresses
the role of materials chemistry in developing new technologies and materials
with specific properties for various applications. This book discusses
synthesis, characterization, and application with various materials and
their structural and chemical behaviors. The students shall be enlightened
on the advanced developments in material chemistry. Students will find a
firm foundation for further subjects through this text, which is perfect for
beginners and intermediate learners who wish to deepen their understanding
of the subject.

This University of York course
revolves around various issues concerning inorganic materials chemistry-
synthesis and characterization of solid-state materials. The course teaches the
methods of synthesis and analyses of inorganic compounds. It also covers the key
structural properties of solids. This book is published on magnetism,
specifically cooperative magnetism and dielectric properties describing
interactions between solids and electric fields. It also dwells on
superconductivity, one of the most important phenomena for materials science and
technology. This resource is appropriate for students and researchers who are
interested in the chemistry of inorganic materials as applied in electronics,
energy storage, and magnetic materials.
