Materials science is a young and extremely diverse discipline. Applications from a variety of scientific fields are used in it, helping to develop novel materials. Because chemistry offers knowledge about the structure and composition of materials as well as the procedures to synthesize and utilize them, chemists have a major influence in the field of materials science.The fundamental idea underlying materials science is to link a material's microstructure to its macromolecular physical and chemical characteristics. Material scientists can build customized or even entirely new materials with...
