ENGI 240: Castro: Websites

From the United Kingdom, this site describes itself as containing "up-to-date and in depth supplier databases on the web to source everything from the traditional to the exotic. Whatever material you are looking for, you’ll be sure to find it here."

The homepage for this site is the periodic table of elements. Choose an element to learn about it's products (i.e. compounds, metallic forms, alloys, oxide forms, nano-materials, semi-conductor & optical), as well as it's properties (general, physical, chemical, identifiers, abundance and history). Finally, for reach element, one can find it's safety for use (potential hazard information, toxicity, and road, sea, air transportation limitations).

The latest news in Materials Science. Includes videos, images, articles, etc.

ChemSpider is a free chemical structure database providing fast text and structure search access to millions of structures from hundreds of data sources.

From the website: "Interdisciplinary research groups (IRGs) include several faculty members and associated researchers, addressing a major topic or area, which may range from fundamental to applied research, in which sustained support for interactive effort by several participants with complementary backgrounds, skills, and knowledge is critical to progress. IRGs in a Center may be topically related, or they may address different topical aspects of materials research. Through their efforts, they contribute to the synergy arising from the research and education activities of the Center and its common infrastructure, shared facilities and outreach programs."
