The importance of materials science to U.S. competitiveness can hardly be overstated. Key materials science areas underlie virtually every facet of modem life. Semiconductors underpin our electronics industry. Optical fibers are essential for communications. Superconducting materials will probably affect many areas ceramics, composites, and thin films are having a big impact now in transportation, construction, manufacturing, and even in sports—tennis rackets are an example. 

Make electronic materials processing a science and improve U.S. competitiveness. Processing is clearly mainly chemical and poor processing... 

Removal of all phospholipids and gums is a necessary part of the steam-refining process. However, this process has not yet been developed to the point where it can produce refined soybean oil that meets U.S. competitive requirements. Studies have been carried out to fulfill this objective (112, 113). 

The Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award was established by Congress in 1987 to enhance U.S. competitiveness by promoting quality awareness, recognizing quality achievements of U.S. companies, and publicizing successful...

The American people, Congress, and the President have growing concerns about U.S. competitiveness and this country s ability to lead the world in innovation and job creation. A recent National Research Council report, Rising Above the Gathering Storm Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future, evaluated the present status of U.S. competitiveness and made specific recommendations for improvements. 

The resulting report details the status of U.S. competitiveness of research in chemistry and its subareas. This benchmarking exercise attempts to determine the current status of the discipline and to extrapolate the future status based on current trends. The report does not make judgments about the relative importance of leadership in each area or make recommendations on actions to be taken to ensure such leadership in the future. 

U.S. competitiveness. At the same time, care must be taken in the emerging biotechnology field to properly address the legal requirements and issues involved when seeking and enforcing patents.
