材料是人類物質文明的基礎，新材料是社會不斷發(fā)展進步的一大支柱，新材料的研究開發(fā)極大地促進了工業(yè)發(fā)展和社會進步。英語作為一種重要的全球化的交流工具，發(fā)揮著重要的作用。學好英語，尤其是專業(yè)英語，是學生、學者和工程技術人員獲取科研信息、掌握學科發(fā)展動態(tài)、參加國際學術交流的基本前提。材料學科涉及廣泛的研究領域，具有很強的學科交叉性，日新月異的新材料發(fā)展使得材料學科的專業(yè)英語學習尤為重要。為此，我們編寫了本書，希望能對從事材料科學與工程的工程技術人員、研究生、本科生的專業(yè)英語水平的提高有所幫助。
本書分為8章，每一章含3-4節(jié)，分別對應于材料科學的不同領域。前7章中，每一節(jié)均由一篇課文和一篇閱讀材料組成。閱讀材料提供了與課文對應的背景知識或者是課文的續(xù)篇，從而進一步拓展了課文的內容。全書共29節(jié)，課文及閱讀材料共計55篇，涵蓋了金屬材料、陶瓷材料、高分子材料、復合材料、生物醫(yī)學材料、納米材料和工程應用等內容，涉及面廣，學科全面。本書附錄A為化學元素的中英文對照表。附錄B為新版元素周期表。另外，英美科技文章中經常出現的非公制單位往往使讀者感到困惑，為此，附錄C給出了英美度量衡系統(tǒng)與公制系統(tǒng)之間的關系。附錄D列出了本書的主要詞匯。
本書具有以下幾個特點：
1.知識面廣，趣味性強。涉及材料科學相關專業(yè)的各類知識，論述的概念清楚、準確、簡練。
2.內容豐富、新穎。55篇文章全部選自近年來出版的原版英文教科書、科技報告、專業(yè)期刊和著作，內容新穎，學科前沿知識豐富，特別突出在納米技術和生物醫(yī)學材料方面的進展。
3.詞匯量大，詞匯表實用。本書既可作為材料專業(yè)的英語教科書，又可用于自學。為了提高讀者的科技英語翻譯和寫作水平，每一章都附有有關科技英語翻譯及寫作技巧的內容。
本書由范積偉擔任主編，席艷君、王艷芝擔任副主編。第1、6、8章由范積偉編寫，第2章及科技翻譯和寫作技巧部分由席艷君編寫，第3章由趙慧君編寫，第4章由曲良俊編寫，第5章由王艷芝編寫，第7章由張小立編寫，全書由范積偉統(tǒng)稿。本書在編寫過程中，得到了中原工學院教務處、材料與化工學院領導及同仁的支持和幫助，在此表示衷心的感謝。

Appendix C The Metric, British and U.S. Systems
Appendix D Glossary
From a practical standpoint, we know that all material objects are essential for a human beingto build things. This definition includes solids, but also liquid （e. g. , liquid crystals that createLCD displays）, and even gases for more specific situations. Really, every raw material used by in-dustry could be included in this classification, but we use the word "material" in a restricted sense :We think about materials whose properties might not be an exact image of those that their elementspossess. Thus, we especially concern ourselves with how elements are structured in macroscopicbodies, with how treatments are used during the elaboration of materials, or with the physicochemi-cal aggregation of different elements——all activities that condition the properties of the materials wegenerate.
The selection, modification, and elaboration of materials to satisfy our needs merge in the foun-dations of human culture. From the very beginnings of prehistory, humans have manipulated sub-stances so that they would be more useful. To create more useful materials, our forebears wanted tounderstand and control the composition of materials, and they often succeeded in modifying a materi-al' s behavior and properties and in predicting the effects of such manipulations.
This task developed over time, beginning as a handcraft that employed empirical and specula-tive knowledge. The history of materials science and engineering had already begun in the Stone Agewhen stones, wood, clay, and leather began to be manipulated. In the Bronze Age, mankind dis-covered the value of temperature and used it to modify materials by thermal treatments or by addingother substances. Yet, in spite of technological improvements, materials science remained empiricaluntil the end of the nineteen century. Materials science, as we now understand it, began with theappearance of Mendeiev s periodic table. Since that time, some properties of elements that are re-lated to their position in the periodic table began to be explained scientifically~, and these resultsbecame incorporated in the annals of science. Since the end of the nineteen century, the introduc-tion of chemistry and physics, calculus, and modem experimentation have brought the use and prof-its of materials to a mature status. Currently, thanks to more reliable knowledge of the structure ofmatter, we can design new materials atom by atom, to achieve the properties we want.
