Don't know about specifically materials rendering, but i have some books on general rendering, they probably have materials sections.

You learn traditional drawing, and then you replicate your imagination in the materials.

want some bro science?

There's only three material "archetypes" with completely different rulesets.

>REFLECTIVE (chrome) (surface_image only)
>REFRACTIVE (glass) (interior_scheme + exterior_scheme)
>DIFFUSE (cloth) (light_side + shadow_side)

Just picture how it would look in real life in your head and draw it.
