The distinction between material structure and nonmaterial superstructure continues to be reflected in sociological textbooks as the distinction between social structure and culture.
Her lab studies glass structures in sea sponges, the lens-covered skeleton of brittlestars, and the slime on the top of bacterial colonies to elucidate the relationships between material structure and function.
A possible charge transfer mechanism on the TiO2 NPs/NWs hybrid has been proposed to clarify the correlation between material structure and performance.
Optimizing implants for success in fatigue-prone applications depends on a strong understanding of the relationship between material structure and fatigue performance, a surprisingly understudied area.
Although this effect has been investigated for decades, the understanding of the essential correlations between materials' structures and their unique properties still has a long way to go.
In this way, the link between material structure at the microscopic scale and the material properties at the macroscopic scale can be investigated quantitatively.
Oxman coined the term Material Ecology to describe her research area, offering methods for the generation of informed relations between form, material, structure, and the environment across scales and application domains.
The completion of the study provided a better understanding of the relationship between the material structure and the performance of clutch plates and can be used as a reference for clutch material selection and transmission design.
Further, the gas transport properties of CER films were analyzed after the different processing steps, and relationships between the material structure and the main gas transport parameters were established.
These results indicate a non-trivial connection between CMS precursor material structure and resulting performance.
