All technologies depend on the availability of suitable materials. Engineers exploit the relationships between the structure, properties and manufacturing methods of a material to optimise their design and production for particular applications. The progress of civilisation is often measured by the materials people have used, from the stone age to the silicon age.
These include the thermodynamic stability of materials in various environments, quantum behaviour governing all matter, and active matter. Scientists seek to understand and predict those relationships.This short book sets out fundamental concepts that underpin the science of materials and emphasizes their relevance to mainstream chemistry, physics and biology. Others include defects as the agents of change in crystalline materials, materials at the nanoscale, the emergence of new science at increasing length scales in
