This award-winning textbook delivers an earnest and comprehensive treatment of the rapidly evolving field of Materials Chemistry. It addresses inorganic-, organic-, and nano-based materials from a structure vs. property treatment, providing a suitable breadth and depth coverage of the field-in a concise and accessible format.
The updated 4th edition features significant updates to glasses and ceramics, solid-state impurities, nanomaterial toxicity, as well as materials used in energy storage, photovoltaic, and electronics applications. Advanced fabrication techniques such as additive manufacturing (3-D printing) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) characterization of suspended nanoparticles are now also included. This new edition also expands the coverage of sustainability and life cycle analysis, of increasing importance for a world plagued with the effects of climate change.
Recognized by a 2008 Textbook Excellence Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association (TAA), Fahlman's Materials Chemistry is ideal for upper-level undergraduate students, as well as first-year graduate students in chemistry, physics, or engineering fields, and may also serve as a valuable reference to industrial researchers. Each chapter concludes with a section that describes important materials applications and an updated list of thought-provoking questions.

Bradley Fahlman is a professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Central Michigan University (CMU). He received a B.Sc. with high honors from the University of Regina (in Saskatchewan, Canada) in 1996. He was awarded a Ph.D. from Rice University in 2000 (adviser Prof. Andrew R. Barron) for his work on the organometallic synthesis of volatile Group 13 compounds and their application for thin-film growth via chemical vapor deposition.
Dr. Fahlman joined the faculty at CMU in 2002 after a two-year postdoctoral appointment at the University of California, Irvine. His research interests include the synthesis and characterization of porous nanostructural carbons and single atom catalysts for energy storage applications, and exploring the coordination chemistry of early transition metals. His work has been supported by the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, Research Corporation, and the Dreyfus Foundation. He is the co-author of more than 70 peer-reviewed publications and has delivered more than 80 invited talks at symposia and universities in the USA and around the world.
Dr. Fahlman enjoys teaching general, inorganic, and materials chemistry at CMU. As the editor-in-chief of the 9th-11th editions of "Chemistry in Context" (McGraw Hill/American Chemical Society), he is an advocate for contextual chemistry curricula as well as interactive and adaptable learning resources, which have greatly improved student motivation and interest. When not in the laboratory or classroom, Fahlman enjoys traveling with his wife, Diyonn, and is a professional photographer specializing in real estate, sporting events, and wildlife.
Bradley Fahlman received a 2008 Textbook Excellence Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association (TAA) for the first edition of his book Materials Chemistry.
