Over the last 10 years there has been a huge growth in the area of
materials and design, but most books on the subject deal with advanced,
semi-formed materials (that is, materials sold as sheet, rod, tube,
etc.). This new book provides much-needed information on the raw
materials, and the 'low-down' on what these materials can be used for.

The
information provided in the book allows professional designers and
students from a range of disciplines – but focusing on product design –
to understand 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. As well as
standard and widely available materials, the book also contains emerging
materials such as smart materials and self-healing plastics, offering a
comprehensive guide to material selection for designers.
