`Introduction to Materials Science' initiates students to the fascinating world of Materials across different length scales from atoms to devices and applications, starting from a historical perspective of materials developments at the beginning of civilizations to today's advanced materials powering growth of societies in this modern world. You will gain knowledge in the fundamental aspects of bonding, crystallography, microstructures and phases for the three key classes of material systems, that is, metals, polymers and ceramics. Understand these facets will allow you to design and control the associated materials properties.
