About the series

This Series focuses on the chemistry of materials and concentrates on explaining key information and concepts in a concise manner. Each monograph covers synthesis, preparation, characterization and processing, while emphasizing applications and end uses. Coverage is wide ranging, encompassing both established and developing areas. Although focusing on the chemistry of materials, the monographs are not restricted to this aspect alone. 

The topics covered fall broadly into the following categories: 

Ceramic and Inorganic Materials, Electronic Materials, Composite Materials, Techniques, Metals and Extractive Metallurgy, Organic Materials, Polymers, Biomaterials or Biological Materials.

The series will assist graduates and researchers in the course of their work and each monograph provides sufficient background information to enable the non-specialist to obtain an understanding of the principles involved.
