The Dictionary of Engineering Materials is a one-stop reference book with close to 40,000 entries for generic and proprietary engineering materials providing answers to questions such as: "What type of material is it? "What is its composition?" "What are its general properties?" and "What are its applications?" Covers metallic materials, polymeric materials, ceramics and glasses, composite materials, wood and paper, textiles and leather, adhesives, sealants and caulking materials, etc.

The Materials in Distress Chapter (Chapter 2) contains a discussion of failures under mechanical overload of polymeric materials, as well as corrosion of metals and plastics. The case studies provided in this book are a valuable source of information for manufacturers to improve their products.

This handbook has equipped generations of engineers and chemists with an expert source of chemical engineering information and data. It contains comprehensive tables and charts for unit conversion, and an expanded section on physical and chemical data.
