The Structure of Materials (book)

"The Structure of Materials" explores how the internal arrangement of atoms and molecules influences a material's properties and behavior. It covers topics like crystal structures, defects, and how materials respond to forces and environmental conditions. By understanding the atomic-scale architecture, scientists can explain why materials bend, break, conduct electricity, or resist corrosion. The book bridges fundamental science and practical applications, helping readers grasp how the microscopic world determines the performance of metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites used in everyday life and technology.
