The book consists of six chapters and one model question paper.
Chapter 1 provides information about Alloys. Alloys are fundamental concepts in engineering that influence material selection, design, processing, and performance. By incorporating these topics into the engineering syllabus, students gain critical knowledge that is essential for developing and optimizing materials used in a wide range of applications. This understanding helps engineers make informed decisions, solve complex problems, and innovate in material science and engineering by knowing their composition, properties and applications of commercial alloys.
Chapter 2 highlights the concepts of Ceramics which play a vital role in various engineering fields due to their unique properties, which make them suitable for a wide range of applications. Such as mechanical, electrical, biomedical, aerospace, material engineering,
high strength, stiffness, thermal resistance, electrical insulation, and biocompatibility. These
properties make ceramics useful in many engineering fields.
Chapter 3 provides information about the concept of Composite. The study of
composites in the engineering syllabus is vital due to their unique properties, broad range of
applications, and significant impact on modern engineering. By understanding composites,
students are equipped to innovate, design, and optimize materials and structures across
various industries. This knowledge is essential for advancing technology, improving
performance, and addressing both practical and environmental challenges in engineering.
Chapter 4 deals with Plastics and Elastomers. The study of Plastics and Elastomers is
used to describe a category of thermoplastic material. These materials typically have better
mechanical properties than commodity plastics, and as such are often used for structural
purposes. Elastomers has different properties such as lightweight, corrosion resistance,
electrical insulation, elasticity, and vibration damping. By understanding plastic and
elastomers, engineering students are equipped to innovate, optimize, and address challenges
across various industries.
Chapter 5 highlights the concept of Advanced Polymers. Advanced polymers are
crucial materials that offer unique properties and applications across various industries. Their
importance will continue to grow as new technologies and applications emerge. Advance
polymers is essential in the engineering syllabus due to their versatility, wide-ranging
applications and impact on material design, processing and sustainability. This knowledge is
critical for designing effective solutions, improving performance and contributing to
technological advancements.
Chapter 6 provides information about Nanomaterials. Nanomaterials are important in
engineering Chemistry because they can be used to create materials with enhanced
properties. These Materials can be used in variety of applications including electronics,
Medicine, Environmental remediation, Renewable energy. Also, it is related to future aspects
such as Sustainability, Personalized medicine. Their importance will continue to grow as new
technologies and applications emerge.
