REVIEWED BY M. H. RICHMAN 1 THIS WORK by John Wulff and his associates consists of four individual volumes each devoted to a different aspect of materials science. The subjects of the various volumes are as follows: (1) Structure, (2) Thermodynamics of Structures, (3) Mechanical Behavior, and (4) Electronic Properties. The series is designed to offer a comprehensive introduction to the structure, properties and behavior of solid materials-metals, polymers, and ceramics. The authors have tried to balance the physics and chemistry of solids and have placed emphasis on the principles relating properties and behavior to structure and environment. At present, only volumes 1 and 2 are available for review.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
