Description

Over the past 10 years there was a huge growth in the area of materials and design, but most books on the subject handle advanced, semi-formed materials (that may be, materials sold as sheet, rod, tube, and the like.). This new book provides much-needed information on the raw materials, and the ‘low-down’ on what these materials can be utilized for.

The information provided in the book allows professional designers and students from a range of disciplines – but that specialize in product design – to consider in simple, exciting, thought-provoking, visual terms different qualities and features of materials. The subject is presented from the perspective of design, and relevant case studies are used to inspire designers into new ways of thinking about materials. In addition to standard and widely to be had materials, the book also contains emerging materials such as smart materials and self-healing plastics, offering a comprehensive guide to material selection for designers.
