In 2004, the study about monolayer carbon film, namely graphene, opens a new era of materials science research: Two-dimensional (2D) materials.
Although WPCs represent a relatively new era of materials development, the range of materials being explored for different applications is very wide, covering a variety of polymer matrix types, fillers, and innovative additives.
Recent advances in synthesizing complex oxide epitaxial heterostructures with precise control in atomic scale have opened a new era of materials science and engineering research, enabling discoveries of novel physical phenomena even from materials that have been studied for a long time.
In the museum's Ready Room, a replica of where aviators used to suit up for missions, he pulled out some heated uniforms from the era made of material like electric blankets.
They also live in an era of heightened material expectations.
This time the news that ours is an era of extreme material excess is conveyed by a 31-piece set of luggage, fabricated by the artist and two assistants in pale yellow caning with forest green leather trim, chartreuse lining and brass fittings (TG logo included).
Furthermore, the quest for accelerated materials discovery has ushered in the era of the materials genome (MG), where experiments, computational tools, and big data (Materials Genome Initiative Strategic et al. 2014) are combined to accelerate materials discovery.
The era of faux materials went out a long time ago".
Not until the 1850s was steelmaking a science, and the advent of the first synthetic polymers – celluloid and vulcanised rubber – around the same time, followed later by Bakelite, ushered in the era of synthetic materials.
