5 Questions
What is the materials paradigm?
The understanding of processing-structure-properties relationships is called the materials paradigm.
How did the recognition of materials science as a distinct field change over time?
Beginning in the 1940s, materials science began to be more widely recognized as a specific and distinct field of science and engineering, and major technical universities around the world created dedicated schools for its study.
What do materials scientists emphasize in their research?
Materials scientists emphasize understanding how the history of a material (processing) influences its structure, and thus the material's properties and performance.
Explain the intellectual origins of materials science.
The intellectual origins of materials science stem from the Age of Enlightenment, when researchers began to use analytical thinking from chemistry, physics, and engineering to understand ancient, phenomenological observations in metallurgy and mineralogy.
What are some research areas that the materials paradigm is used to advance understanding in?
The materials paradigm is used to advance understanding in a variety of research areas, including nanotechnology, biomaterials, and metallurgy.
