Materials science refers to a unique combination of science and engineering, chemistry and physics, and imagination and logic. It is concerned with the discovery and design of novel materials, particularly solids. The four main types of materials studied and used in materials science include polymers, ceramics, metals, and semiconductors. Materials science and engineering (MSE) refers to an interdisciplinary study of useful matter. It applies principles of chemistry, physics, and engineering to solve practical issues related to biotechnology, manufacturing, nanotechnology, energy, and information technology. This field is concerned with material behavior with the goal of comprehending, enhancing and even creating new materials. MSE is utilized in a variety of industries such as transportation, construction, energy, drug delivery, nanotechnology, and tissue engineering. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide an in-depth knowledge about materials science and engineering. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
