Clathrates are useful for the control of the stereo- and regiospecificity of intra-cavity chemical reactions and can be used to engineer materials properties such as a polarity leading to non-linear optical materials, and ferroelastic or ferroelectric behaviour. 

Post-cure thermal treatment of epoxy-aromatic amine polymers stabilizes mechanical properties to a certain extent. However, the embrittlement makes the treatment harmful from the point of view of engineering material properties. 

Materials such as the BijTe/SbjTej alloys, which are used in commercially available Peltier coolers, exhibit the largest known thermoelectric figure of merit at room temperature (ZT 1). Although it has been suggested that the maximum possible value of ZT is about 14 (2), it has proved difficult in practice to increase Z by engineering materials properties alone. A notable exception is the class of materials known as the skutterudites (3). One reason for this is that in many instances increasing S leads to a concomitant increase in resistivity. Furthermore, an increase in electrical conductivity leads to an increase in the electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity.

Damping is an engineering material property and the observed response is much more sensitive to the polymer constitution than in step-function experiments. Oscillatory experiments (also referred to as dynamic mechanical experiments) thus offer a powerful technique to study molecular structure and morphology. A significant feature is the breadth of the time-scale spectrum available with these methods, e.g., 10 -10 cycles/sec.
