Description: Description Up for auction is a Monographs on the Physics and Chemistry of Materials: Strong Solids by A. Kelly 1966! This book is in EXCELLENT condition, with no writing other than Dr. McGee's signature on the inside page, written in pencil! This book is one of many from the personal estate of Dr. Thomas McGee that will be listed over the upcoming weeks. McGee was a presence at Iowa State University for nearly 70 years. He earned two bachelor’s degrees, one in Ceramic Engineering and one in Mechanical Engineering, in 1948. He later earned his master’s degree in Industrial Engineering in 1958 and two Ph.D.'s in Ceramic Engineering and Metallurgy in 1961. He joined the Iowa State faculty in 1956, working his way up the professorship ranks to become a full professor by 1965. In 2007, he became a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. McGee was known for his work with brittle materials and his contributions to bone implants. He is the inventor of artificial bone implants called osteoceramics, which are biological composite implants used instead of a bone graft taken from the patient. The calcium phosphate in the implant spurs bone growth and repairs the cracks that can form. He earned international acclaim as a leading expert in temperature measurement, refectories, glass science and technology, and biomaterials. Additionally, his work with surgical applications earned him nine granted or pending patents. Please see photos! You are bidding on the exact item(s) in the photograph.
