Materials science is an integrative field focused on understanding and manipulating the properties and behaviours of materials. It combines principles from physics, chemistry and engineering to study the structure, properties and performance of various materials, including metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. This field examines how different processing techniques influence a material's microstructure and how this, in turn, affects its mechanical, electrical, thermal and optical properties. Innovations in this field lead to advanced technologies like stronger alloys, more efficient semiconductors and novel biomaterials. By studying engineering materials at the atomic and molecular levels, materials science drives progress in technology and industry, contributing to advancements in modern society. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of materials science, and its applications. This book presents the complex subject of properties, structure and behaviour of materials in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. The topics covered in this book offer the readers new insights in the field of materials science.
