This is an advanced book on the microstructure and properties of materials, the first volume of a 3-volume set. It covers microstructure of inorganic glasses, microstructure and properties of superconducting materials, ceramic matrix composites, microstructure and properties of aluminium alloys and polymer matrix composites. This book provides details on designs and their applications as well as the explanation to how the microstructure affects the properties.

This is the second volume of an advanced textbook on microstructure and properties of materials. (The first volume is on aluminum alloys, nickel-based superalloys, metal matrix composites, polymer matrix composites, ceramics matrix composites, inorganic glasses, superconducting materials and magnetic materials). It covers titanium alloys, titanium aluminides, iron aluminides, iron and steels, iron-based bulk amorphous alloys and nanocrystalline materials.There are many elementary materials science textbooks, but one can find very few advanced texts suitable for graduate school courses.
