NIMS publishes specialized books in English covering from principle, theory and all
recent application examples as NIMS Monographs series. NIMS places a unity of one
study theme as a specialized book which was specialized in each particular field, and
we try for publishing them as a series with the characteristic (production, application)
of NIMS. Authors of the series are limited to NIMS researchers. Our world is made
up of various “substances” and in these “materials” the basis of our everyday lives
can be found. Materials fall into two major categories such as organic/polymeric
materials and inorganic materials, the latter in turn being divided into metals and
ceramics. From the Stone Ages - by way of the Industrial Revolution - up to today,
the advance in materials has contributed to the development of humankind and now
it is being focused upon as offering a solution for global problems. NIMS specializes
in carrying out research concerning these materials. NIMS: http://www.nims.go.jp/
