This book focuses on Material Sciences and encompasses inorganic solids and nanomaterials. It covers the new syllabi prescribed by UGC & University of Delhi under the New Education Policy (NEP) for B.Sc. (Honours) and B.Sc. (Programme) courses.
This book is organized in fifteen chapters that provide the theoretical aspects of each topic along with their practical facets. The topics include introduction to inorganic solids, synthesis and modification methodologies of inorganic solids, inorganic solids of technological importance, nanomaterials, nanobiomaterials, characterization techniques, molecular materials, composite materials, ion exchange resins and speciality chemicals/polymers.
The last chapter includes laboratory experiments, to enhance the perception of the topic. Some important questions related to the experiments for viva voce are provided at the end of each experiment. In every experiment teachers' notes, not given in any book, are given at the end which will be helpful for teachers. Hence, this book not only provides education to the students but also serves as a reference book for the teachers and industrial chemists. The question bank is also compiled at the end of each chapter.
