Important steps during RM production are the control of properties that determine the quality of the final product and its long-term stability (see the overview of techniques in Table 2.4). As some of the methods discussed below, for example determination of homogeneity, stability and shelf life (expiry date) are also mentioned in other Chapters and in the interest of brevity the reader is referred to them for further details.

The developed micromechanical model of reinforcement by active fillers allows for a better control of material properties and a more fundamental engineering praxis in mbber industry. In particular. 

With the introduction of many different reliable methods, including electrodeposition, to produce systems with nanometer (nm)-scale structural and composition variation, came the ability for greater control of material properties.
