Materials Engineering and Science Principles, Properties, and Processes, Second Edition

Understand the relationship between processing and material properties with this streamlined introduction

Materials engineering focuses on the complex and crucial relationship between the physical properties of materials and the chemical bonds that comprise them. Specifically, this field of study seeks to understand how materials can be designed to meet specific design and performance criteria. This ‘materials paradigm’ has, in recent years, become integral to numerous cutting-edge areas of technological development.

Materials Engineering and Science seeks to introduce this vital and fast-growing subject to a new generation of scientists and engineers. It integrates core thermodynamic, kinetic, and transport principles into its analysis of the structural, mechanical, and physical properties of materials, creating a streamlined and intuitive approach that fosters understanding. Now fully revised to reflect the latest research and educational paradigms, this is an essential resource.

Readers of the second edition will also find:

• Detailed discussion of all major classes of materials, including polymers, composites, and biologics
• New and expanded treatment of nanomaterials, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and molecular simulation
• Web-based and physical supplementary materials including an instructor guide, solutions manual, and sample lecture slides

Materials Engineering and Science is ideal for all advanced undergraduate and early graduate students in engineering, materials science, and related subjects.

Brian S. Mitchell, PhD, is Professor Emeritus of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at Tulane University, New Orleans, USA. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and his engineering research focuses on nanostructured materials processing.
