Description:

Now in its third edition, Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering continues to take an integrated approach to the topic organization. One specific structure, characteristic, or property type at a time is discussed for all three basic material types--metals, ceramics, and polymers. This order of presentation allows for early introduction of non-metals and supports the engineers role of choosing a material based on its characteristics.
