Its coverage has been expanded to include whole new families of materials such as minor metals, ferroalloys, nuclear materials, food, natural oils, fats, resins, and waxes. Many of the existing families--notably the metals, gases, liquids, minerals, rocks, soils, polymers, and fuels--are broadened and refined with new material and up-to-date information. Several of the larger tables of data are expanded and new ones added. Particular emphasis is placed on the properties of common industrial materials in each class. After a chapter introducing some general properties of materials, each of twenty-four classes of materials receives attention in its own chapter. The health and safety issues connected with the use and handling of industrial materials are included.\u003cbr\u003e Detailed appendices provide additional information on subjects as diverse as crystallography, spectroscopy, thermochemical data, analytical chemistry, corrosion resistance, and economic data for industrial and hazardous materials. Specific further reading sections and a general bibliography round out this comprehensive guide. The index and tabular format of the book makes light work of extracting what the reader needs to know from the wealth of factual information within these covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dr. François Cardarelli has spent many years compiling and editing materials data. His professional expertise and experience combine to make this handbook an indispensable reference tool for scientists and engineers working in numerous fields ranging from chemical to nuclear engineering. Particular emphasis is placed on the properties of common industrial materials in each class. After a chapter introducing some general properties of materials, materials are classified as follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eferrous metals and their alloys;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eferroalloys;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecommon nonferrous metals;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eless common metals;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eminor metals;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esemiconductors and superconductors;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emagnetic materials;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003einsulators and dielectrics;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emiscellaneous electrical materials;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eceramics, refractories and glasses;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003epolymers and elastomers;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eminerals, ores and gemstones;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003erocks and meteorites;\u003c\/li\u003e soils and fertilizers; \u003cli\u003econstruction materials;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003etimbers and woods;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efuels, propellants and explosives;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecomposite materials;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003egases;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eliquids;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efood, oils, resin and waxes;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003enuclear materials.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efood materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e François Cardarelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319389238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319389233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 2254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.20h x 9.40w x 3.90d","brand":"François Cardarelli","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47452799893759,"sku":"9783319389233","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fecd27ea-f871-440c-aae3-46f892f76518.jpg?v=1761930554","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/materials-handbook-franzois-cardarelli-9783319389233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
