 | | Materials science includes those parts of chemistry, physics, geology, and even biology that deal with the physical properties of materials. |
 | | Materials science encompasses all classes of materials, the study of each of which may be considered a separate field: metals and metallurgy, ceramics, semiconductors and other electronic materials, polymers, and Biomaterials. |
 | | Materials science is related to materials engineering, which tends to focus on processing techniques (casting, rolling, welding, ion implantation, crystal growth[?], thin-film deposition[?], sintering, glassblowing, etc.), analytical techniques (electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, calorimetry, etc.), materials design, and cost/benefit tradeoffs in industrial production of materials. |
