Features: Today, materials, energy, and information are regarded as the three pillars of modern science and technology. As one of the three pillars of modern civilization, materials serve as the foundation for industries such as metallurgy, machinery, chemical engineering, civil engineering, information technology, energy, aerospace, and more, while also being the material basis and technological pioneer for social development and progress. To enable readers to gain a comprehensive understanding and mastery of the fundamental concepts, characteristics, application fields, and development trends of materials, this book elaborates on related content in different chapters, covering basic concepts of materials, structural materials, electrical materials, magnetic materials, superconducting materials, smart materials, optical materials, new energy materials, biomedical materials, antibacterial materials, environmental materials, gradient function materials, composite materials, and nanomaterials, with a focus on the properties and applications of various materials. The book features concise and accessible language, broad coverage, extensive information, and strong scientific rigor, making it highly practical and readable. It can not only serve as a textbook for introductory courses in materials science and engineering, as well as foundational general education courses for non-materials majors in science, engineering, and business, but also as an invaluable reference for researchers, managers, and production technicians in the field of materials.
