Materials are the foundation of technology. As such, most universities provide engineering students with the basic concepts of materials science, but few offer the applications-oriented background that students need to succeed in industry. This book fills that gap. From a cross-disciplinary perspective, the author examines the practical applications of engineering materials across a broad range of industries. The topics addressed include electronic packaging, smart materials, thermal management, and materials development. Designed for use as both a text and a reference, Applied Materials Science is both scientifically rich and technologically relevant.
