When I started teaching I don’t think that the term novel materials had made it into everyday use. But science moves on and modern exam courses must reflect this. So where does a science teacher find out about new developments? Many exam-specific texts will include information about materials found in that specification, but this is a book aimed at GCSE which covers a wide range of materials and applications.

Nigel Colenutt reviews Novel materials and smart applications and considers how it could be used by students and teachers.
