Materials science encompasses four classes of materials, the study of each of which may be considered a separate field: metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. This volume gathers important research from around the globe in this dynamic field including research on metal-organic architectures including organometallic supramolecular synthons; nanostructured ferritic alloys as materials for fission and fusion reactors; polycrystalline silicon thin films on glass; shape memory alloys and organic and inorganic mixed insulation coatings on non-oriented electrical steels.
