Overview
Program Description
The microstructures of solids at various levels, especially the defects, profoundly influence the mechanical, electronic, chemical, and biological properties of solids. The phenomenological and mechanistic relationships between the microstructure and the macroscopic properties of solids are, in essence, what materials science is all about. This is best represented by the “materials science triangle”: synthesis-microstructure-properties.
The Materials Science program of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is concerned with studying the design, fabrication, and testing of engineering materials. Such materials must simultaneously fulfill dimensional properties, quality control, and economic requirements. Several manufacturing steps may be involved: primary fabrication, such as solidification or vapor deposition of homogeneous or composite materials; secondary fabrication, including shaping and microstructural control by operations such as mechanical working, machining, sintering, joining and heat treatment and testing, which measures the degree of reliability of a processed part, destructively or non-destructively.
