Principles of Inorganic Materials Design

Principles of Inorganic Materials Design, 3rd Edition, is a textbook that introduces fundamental concepts in inorganic structure-property relationships and material behaviors. The text frames materials design as an essential discipline within electronics, medicine, and energy storage.

The volume addresses crystallographic symmetry, cohesive forces, and the influence of microstructure on physical properties. The 2020 edition expands this coverage with dedicated chapters on computational materials science, intermetallic compounds, and covalent compounds.

Intended for undergraduate students and practicing professionals, the textbook reinforces core concepts with updated case studies, end-of-chapter exercises, and biographical sketches profiling pioneers in inorganic materials science.
