The 2nd edition of Materials Chemistry builds on the strengths that were recognized by a 2008 Textbook Excellence Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association (TAA). Materials Chemistry addresses inorganic-, organic-, and nano-based materials from a structure vs. property treatment, providing a suitable breadth and depth coverage of the rapidly evolving materials field.
The 2nd edition continues to offer innovative coverage and practical perspective throughout. After briefly defining materials chemistry and its history, seven chapters discuss solid-state chemistry, metals, semiconducting materials, organic "soft" materials, nanomaterials, and materials characterization. All chapters have been thoroughly updated and expanded with, for example, new sections on #xE2;#xAC;#xDC;soft lithographic#xE2;#xAC;" patterning, #xE2;#xAC;#xDC;click chemistry#xE2;#xAC;" polymerization, nanotoxicity, graphene, as well as many biomaterials applications. The polymer and #xE2;#xAC;#xDC;soft#xE2;#xAC;" materials chapter represents the largest expansion for the 2nd edition. Each chapter concludes with a section that describes important materials applications, and an updated list of thought-provoking questions. The appendices have also been updated with additional laboratory modules for materials synthesis and a comprehensive timeline of major materials developments. Appropriate for junior/senior undergraduate students, as well as first-year graduate students in chemistry, physics, or engineering. Materials Chemistry may also serve as a reference to industrial researchers. The author chose depth over breadth, resulting in deep, detailed prose. The strenghts of this book are its illustrations and color graphics, as well as up-to-date references and examples. 'Choice Reviews Online', 2008 on Materials Chemistry 1st edition.

Bradley Fahlman obtained his PhD at Rice University (Houston, Texas) in 2000 and was awarded his BSc. (High Hons.) at the University of Regina (Canada) in 1996. At present he is Associate Professor of Chemistry at Michigan University. His research interests involve amongst others the synthesis of novel hafnium thin-film precursors, use of these precursors for oxide/nitride/oxynitride thing film growth using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD), development and electrochemical testing of novel nanomaterials ofr Li ion battery anode applications and mechanistic investigation of low-temperature carbon nanotube/nanofibre growth. Brad is head of the Fahlman research group, whose overall objective is to design new and improved routes to interesting and industrially useful nanostructural materials and thin films. The following projects are of current ongoing interest to the group, finding applications for homeland security, as well as advanced components such as fuel cells, sensors, microelectronic devices, and future molecular electronic nanodevices: 1. Design of materials for low-temperature degradation of chemical warfare agents and pesticides. 2. Supercritical fluid facilitated growth of thin films and novel nanostructural materials. 3. Chemical vapor deposition/characterization of Group 13 nitride and oxynitride thin films, including the development of novel single-source, liquid precursors. 4. Nanotube-template chemical vapor deposition of novel nanostructures. Bradley Fahlman received a 2008 Textbook Excellence Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association (TAA) for the first edition of his book Materials Chemistry.
