Abstract

Materials with different properties have emerged as key structures for various important modern applications, for example, in energy, water, and catalysis. Consequently, controlling the properties of the components forming the materials and their interactions can provide increased efficiency and selectivity for the related applications. This chapter provides an introduction to the science and engineering of materials, providing insights into hybrid materials too. Furthermore, definitions for different terms such as elements, matter, materials, and interactions are quoted and contrasted with popular conceptualizations of advanced technology. The chapter also discusses the components of the materials, their interactions, and the type of chemical and general reaction conditions.
