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, \u003cb\u003eIntroduction to Materials Science and Engineering, Second Edition, \u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpdates in the Second Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eReferences to advances in the field, including computational thermodynamics, allowing computation of phase diagrams with great accuracy and new materials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpdated applications and technologies, such as electric vehicles and the use of magnetic fields as a processing tool\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eRevised, practical end-of-chapter problems that go beyond traditional plug-and-chug exercises to enhance learning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eMore examples with detailed solutions in each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA new chapter highlighting how materials can impact four United Nations Sustainable Development Goals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is written for undergraduate students and readers interested in introductory materials science and engineering concepts.
