Principles of Inorganic Materials Design 2nd Edition [Kõva köide]

Typically, students of materials science were required to take an elementary chemistry course, say Chemists Lalena (Evergreen State College, Washington and U. of Maryland-Europe) and Cleary (Gonzaga U., Washington), but any further chemistry was taught in the context of one or another course in materials. Over the past couple decades, however, new materials development has relied ever more heavily on synthetic chemistry, and they decided that materials students could use a course specifically on the fundamentals of designing materials through synthetic chemistry. This text is designed for such a course at the undergraduate level, and the second edition not only been updated and expanded, but corrected. The number of worked examples has been increased, and answers appended for selected chapter-end problems. No date is noted for the first.

With new developments, understanding materials chemistry is key to successfully solving materials-related problems. Principles of Inorganic Materials Design is vital to students in need of the most advanced and updated information on materials chemistry to better equip for such challenges. Compiling recent publications, the text covers topics like microstructural aspects, density functional theory, dielectric properties, mechanical properties, and nanomaterials, as well as topics hardly discussed like the CALPHAD (CALculations of PHAse Diagrams) method. Through a "how-to" approach and end-of-chapter practice problems, students will learn the nature of design materials.
