MSE (1989) Materials Science and Engineering for the 1990s, Report of the Committee on Materials Science and Engineering from the National Research Council (National Academy Press, Washington, DC). [Pg.460]

More than just intuition tells us how important materials are. In 1989 the National Research Council (NRC) prepared a report, Materials Science and Engineering for the 1990s (7) that examined in detail the impact of materials science on our national competitiveness. The NRC study surveyed eight major industries that together employed 7 million people in 1987 and had sales of more than 1.4 trillion. Additional millions of jobs in ancillary industries depend on the materials industry. Despite the very different needs for particular materials, the NRC survey also showed a remarkable consistency in generic and technological needs. Every industry surveyed expressed a clear need to produce new and traditional materials more economically and with a higher reproducibility and quality than is currently possible. [Pg.17]

The study, concluded in December 1988, was formally unveiled in the fall of 1989 with a report entitled Materials Science and. Engineering for the 1990s (1). Funding was provided by a number of agencies. About 400 people contributed to this study, and about 100 of these were formally appointed by the two academies. [Pg.24]

We are indebted to many people and organizations for making the symposium and book possible, particularly the authors, for their efforts in providing manuscripts of their presentations. We are especially grateful to the Petroleum Research Fund and the Division of Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering for financial support. Finally, our sincerest thanks are extended to Cheryl Shanks and the production staff of the ACS Books Department for their efforts in publishing this volume. [Pg.2]

The field of biomedical application often requires an interdisciplinary approach that combines the life sciences and medicine with materials science and engineering. For a successful application, the material must be biocompatible, meaning that the material has the ability to perform with an appropriate host response in a specific application. Due to the complicated interaction between materials and biological systems, there is no precise definition or accurate measurement of biocompatibility. [Pg.218]

This work was supported by Seed Funds from the Stanford Center for Integrated Systems. The authors thank Ford Motor Company for use of the fluorescence microscope and imaging system, and Professor C.W. Bates, Stanford Dept, of Materials Science and Engineering, for use of the Solartron frequency response analyzer. [Pg.330]

We are indebted to the capable and conscientious contributing authors who are among the foremost authorities in their fields. We also thank the Executive Committee of the Division of Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering for its endorsement of this book, and the staff of the American Chemical Society Books Department for their help and advice. Useful comments were made by an advisory committee consisting of J. K. Craver, R. R. Myers, J. L. Gardon, D. R. Paul, R. D. Deanin, R. B. Seymour, J. K. Gillham, C. E. Carraher, J, C. Weaver, K. L. DeVries, and L. F. Thompson. [Pg.2]

Dr. Yongxiang Yang, Delft University of Technology, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, for supplying me with some literature on recycling of the rare earth elements. [Pg.134]

Silica, a major and natural component of sand and glass, has been employed in material sciences and engineering for many years. It is now known for a while that silica due to its versatility, biocompatibility and ease of functionalization can be a very promising candidate for gene delivery. Though, pure silica nanoparticles without surface modifications are not able to condense and deliver DNA by themselves yet they are able to enhance gene delivery in vitro by providing aide to other transfection... [Pg.805]
