Building on the extraordinary success of eight best-selling editions, this new Ninth Edition of Materials Science and Engineering  continues to promote student understanding of the three primary types of materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties.

The Wiley Advantage

• WileyPLUS is a research-based, online environment for effective teaching and learning. WileyPLUS is packed with interactive study tools and resources—including the complete e-textbook—to give students more value for their money.
• See How WileyPLUS for Callister Enables Student Success
  Arizona State University student, Bethany Smith, discusses the challenges materials science students face and how WileyPLUS helps her and other students study, complete homework, and prepare for exams.
• VMSE (Virtual Materials Science and Engineering) is a unique tool for visualizing molecules and manipulating them in 3D. (Available in WileyPLUS)
• Tutorial Videos: New tutorial videos explain from a student’s perspective tough concepts that have been identified through research as students’ "muddiest points," the most challenging topics to understand. (Available in WileyPLUS)
• Current and up-to-date: Modern coverage includes advanced ceramic and polymeric materials, composites, high-energy hard magnetic materials, and optical fibers.
• Resources to facilitate the materials selection process: Appendix B contains 10 properties for a set of approximately 100 materials and can be used in materials selection problems. An additional resource, Appendix C, contains the costs for all materials listed in Appendix B. Within VMSE in WileyPLUS, the Engineering Materials Properties database enables user filtering by combinations of properties to facilitate materials selection.
• Mechanical property coverage: The Ninth Edition maintains its extensive introductory level coverage of mechanical properties and failure—the most important materials consideration for many engineers.
• Key terms and brief explanations of key equations appear in the margins for quick identification of the most important topics in the chapter.
