中文摘要：

经过20余年的研究与发展．矿物材料学已经成为材料科学与工程中一个相对独立和完善的组成部分．由于其定义、内涵与特征等基本问题与材料科学的从属性和独特性，多年的研究认为：矿物材料学是研究矿物材料的组成与结构、制备与合成、性能和使用效能以及矿物原料性质与特点等五要素及其相互关系和规律的一门学科。这五要素是具有内部互相联系和作用的有机整体，研究这五要素并了解它们之间的相互关系和规律构成了矿物材料学的内涵。矿物原料性质与特点是其他四要素的基本前提或重要基础，矿物原料及其与其他四要素的关系以及矿物在其他四要素中的关键性都体现了矿物材料学的矿物科学属性．正是因为兼具材料科学属性和矿物科学属性的矿物材料学这一重要特征使其有别于其他学科．而具有了理论及实用价值，

英文摘要：

Mineral material science has become a relatively independent and perfect part of materials science and engineering through many years＇ research and development. Because the fundamental questions such as definition,connotation and features of mineral material sciences are subordinate and independent to materials science and engineering,it is proposed that mineral material sciences is a subject studying the composition and structure of mineral materials,the preparation, synthesis, properties, useful efficacy, and mineral raw material as well as their relationship and regularity among those five elements. The five elements are an organic entity which have their inside relationship and inter reaction. It is the connotation of mineral material sciences that study the five elements and understand their relationship and regularity. The most important feature of mineral material sciences is that it possesses both material sciences property and mineral sciences property. Mineral raw material is the foundation for other four elements. Mineral raw material and its relationship between other four elements as well as the key position of minerals in other four elements have give expression to its material sciences property.
