Engineering Materials

Rapid advancement in electron-based computers or probable light-based computers in the future, changes in electronics engineering from vacuum valves to very large scale microchips (VLSC), cement concrete (CC) to polymer reinforced concrete (PRC) in civil engineering, pure metals to duplex stainless steel (DSS) in mechanical engineering, wood to ferroelectrics, and ordinary steel to ferrites in electrical engineering are some illustrations which became possible due to developments in materials science. This book introduces emerging engineering materials with the inclusion of recent topics.
