Introduction to Materials Chemistry

"This book gives readers a broad overview of how the fundamentals of chemistry are used to create sophisticated materials and devices that improve modern life. This is an ideal text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in chemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering. It also provides a general overview for professionals in research and/or industry, illustrating the relationships between different types of solids and how combinations of different materials are often used to solve challenging technical problems."--BOOK JACKET.

HARRY R. ALLCOCK, PhD, is an Evan Pugh Professor of Chemistry at The PennsylvaniaState University. His research interests include applications of chemical synthesis to polymer chemistry, materials science, energy research, and biomedicine; and thecorrelation of molecular structure with properties for hybrid inorganic-organicmacromolecules and materials. Dr. Allcock has received numerous awards, includingfour American Chemical Society Awards for his work in polymers and materialsscience. He has authored or coauthored 530 peer-reviewed articles and has edited, coauthored, or written eight books, including the recent Chemistry and Applicationsof Polyphosphazenes (Wiley). More than 130 graduate students and postdoctoral scientists, as well as numerous undergraduates, have received their research training under his direction.
