Description - Glass by B. J. Knapp
What is a plastic bag made of? How are modern ceramics created and used? Why do we need so many adhesives? How did the Romans make glass - and how do we make glass today? These are just some of the questions answered by this unique, 9-title series of books. Materials Science tackles the most important and familiar materials in everyday use. The books provide a suitably in-depth (see contents list below), technical, but accessible introduction to the science of materials for students across the whole secondary age range. Each title explains the origin of each material, its characteristics and the science behind its development and use. The information combines the principles of science with the applications of technology and is presented using stunning pictures and graphics. Materials Science demonstrates the excitement and relevance of science in our everyday lives. Following in the footsteps of the other quality series such as Elements and Earth Science published by Atlantic Europe Publishing, Materials Science is set to find a sure foothold as a valuable resource for students studying science and technology.
