Booknews
Provides an overview of materials chemistry, derived from presentations at a symposium at the 204th National Meeting of the ACS in Washington, DC, August 1992, with additional contributions. The first section is devoted to broad issues relevant to the needs, opportunities, and problems confronting materials chemistry R&D. The second section covers a range of topics relating to education of--and communication between--chemists, materials scientists, and the general public regarding materials chemistry. The final section highlights specific topics that characterize current materials chemistry R&D and indicates the problems, prospective solutions, and opportunities for new technology in these areas.
