Bradley D.Fahlman所著的《材料化学（原著第2版）（英文版）》是关于材料的结构，性能，制备和应用的化学。每一章直至每一节都详细地描述了重要材料的实际应用，辅以精选的问题耐人寻味。全书7章逐一讨论了固态化学、金属、半导体材料、有机“软”材料，纳米材料和材料的性能等内容。

Bradley D.Fahlman所著的《材料化学（原著第2版）（英文版）》与其获得美国教材与作者协会（Text and Academic Authors Association，TAA）颁发的2008年度最佳教科书奖的第1版相比，内容有所加强。第2版从结构-特性处理的角度出发，探讨了无机、有机、纳米材料等课题，在广度和深度上基本涵盖了当今飞速发展的材料科学领域。

第2版自始至终为读者继续呈现突破创新和实际应用的视角。在扼要地定义材料化学和其发展史之后，全书7章逐一讨论了固态化学、金属、半导体材料、有机“软”材料，纳米材料和材料的性能等内容。

第2版得到了全新的升级和扩展，例如，新增加“软平版印刷术”模型、“点击化学”聚合反应、纳米毒性、石墨烯以及许多生物材料应用等内容，特别是聚合物和“软”材料部分得到了更大的补充。

每一章直至每一节都详细地描述了重要材料的实际应用，辅以精选的问题耐人寻味。

附录同样精彩——不但提供了最新的材料合成实验室方法，而且列举了比较重要的材料的发现时间表。

《材料化学（原著第2版）（英文版）》特别适合化学、物理和工程专业的本科生和研究生阅读，对于从事工业研究的相关技术人员同样具存较高的参考价值。全新修订，更新和扩展的新版本，囊括众多插图和图形，辅以最新参考文献和实例，每章配有“进一步讨论”，使思考更加深入，提供实验室合成多种多样的材料的方法，增加纳米毒性、气相生长O-维纳米结构，石墨烯等新章节，突出“点击化学”聚合反应、硅酮、导电聚合物和生物材料应用，讨论新兴领域——“软平版印刷术”模型。
