Modern Materials And The Solid State: Crystals, Polymers, And Alloys

Spheres in a cube, lined up in an alternating positive and negative pattern. Caption: by mutual Columbic attraction in a regular pattern.

Understanding the interatomic forces that give structure and properties to different types of solids is essential for the creation of new alloys, the development of useful polymers, and the creation of many other kinds of materials. Chemistry is not only an excellent entry point to predicting how a new material behaves but is also a continuous process of innovation and discovery. Part of the series: Chemistry: Challenges And Solutions.
