Intended for use in a one semester course to indtroduce enginerring or technology students to various aspeets of chemisty as applied to engineering, this comprechensive textbook consists of 16 chapters and 4 appendices, one of which is devoted to patents. The emphasis is on energy and the environment which permeate all applied aspects. The subjects storage, and batteries/fuel cells. Other topics covered are corrosion, lubrication, explosives, water and its treatment, cement and concrete, and ceramics and composites. Polymer chemistryussions on adhesives and coatings.

Each of the chapters and tow of hte appendices (Surface Chemistry and Viscosity) comclude with a list of books and articles for further reading as well as a set of exercises which include problems that extend the topics beyond the text. Answers to the exercises are available to the instructor as a separate solutions manual.
