Summary:
"The relationships between processing, microstructure, and properties form the basis for the materials science field. Characterization is a critical step along the pathway of discovery in understanding these relationships. This collection of proceedings covers the use of characterization across the entire life cycle of materials, from extraction to processing to utilization to recycling. In addition, the breadth of this volume is meant to cover characterization across the spectrum of science and engineering consistent with technology or manufacturing readiness levels from one to nine. This will serve the dual purpose of runishing a broad introduction of the field to novices while simultaneously serving to keep subject matter experts up-to-date."--Preface, page xiii.
