A guide to the physical properties of solid state and structural materials includes materials of current commercial importance plus new biomedical, composite, and laser materials. Utilizing a largely tabular format for easy reference and comparability of various properties, these volumes provide detailed property data. Volume I presents the elements; elemental properties, miscellaneous tables of physical properties; conversion tables, miscellaneous materials properties and binary phase information; and materials standards. Volume II treats metals, glasses and glass ceramics, alumina and other refractory materials, and composites (including fibers). Volume III covers polymers, electronic materials, nuclear materials, biomedical materials, graphitic materials, and sources on materials information (information services). See also 20-470. -- AATA
