Stuff Matters: Stunning Materials That Structure Our Man-Made World
Materials science, though relatively new, is a highly expansive field of study that covers all aspects of from its physics and chemistry, its applications in engineering, and even its history. As such, materials science involves observing the structure and properties of materials, finding ways to process said materials, discovering or creating new materials, and improving existing ones. As time passes and technology continues to improve and develop, materials science has become more and more important. This is due to the fact that most technological limits and scientific problems we face today are caused by limitations in materials such as availability, strength, and mechanical properties. These limitations can be solved by materials science, either by improving said material or engineering a new material to be used as a better replacement.
Whether natural or engineered, simple or complex, materials are the things that shape our physical world. Materials science can make our world better by enabling us to engineer materials to improve the overall quality of life wherever we go.
In this book, you can learn about the origins and properties of common materials like paper and plastic. You can also learn about the processes involved in making everyday things like chocolate, pottery ware, and glass. But most important of all, through this book, you can gain a better understanding of the nature and beauty of the physical world in all its intricacy.
Studying materials science allows us to explore the physical world, one where natural and manmade structures coexist. In this book, we will explore our world of organic and synthetic materials, learn about modern materials and how they have evolved throughout history, and take a look at some of the common materials we see and use in everyday life.
