Engineering Materials for Technological Needs - 2: Functional Materials

Więcej o książce

The development of functional materials is essential for addressing technological needs and advancing materials research. This book offers a comprehensive treatment of functional materials required for electrical, dielectric, electromagnetic, optical, and magnetic applications, linking material concepts directly to their applications. Existing texts on functional materials have not kept pace with technological advancements, often glossing over these topics or focusing narrowly on specific properties. Assuming readers have completed a one-semester introductory undergraduate course in materials science, this book provides a broader and deeper exploration of functional materials. It features hundreds of illustrations to clarify concepts and deliver quantitative information, adopting a tutorial style. Each chapter includes example problems, review questions, and suggestions for supplementary reading. This work is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate engineering courses and serves as a valuable reference for professionals in various industries, including electronics, computer science, communications, aerospace, automotive, transportation, construction, energy, and control.
