The notion of replicating the unique fracture resistance of natural composites in synthetic materials has generated much interest but has yielded few real technological advances.
While the use of plastic materials has generated huge societal benefits, the 'plastic age' comes with downsides: One issue of emerging concern is the accumulation of plastics in the aquatic environment.
Fast identification of biochemical components in turbid materials has generated strong interest in live tissue spectroscopy since it makes disease diagnosis possibly achievable in situ.
Graphene-based materials have generated tremendous interest in a wide range of research activities.
In recent years, the functionally graded materials (FGMs), as a category of the composite materials, have generated a great deal of attention.
Recently, organic-functionalized mesoporous siliceous materials have generated a great deal of interest in the fields of catalysis, adsorption [23 28], and sensors [29] due to their high surface areas and large ordered pores ranging from 2 to 50 nm with narrow size distributions.
Assuming reasonable ethics and motives for all players here, the best outcome would be for Jones to go to Montgomery's lab, discuss in detail what she sees as the promise of the materials Montgomery has generated, and negotiate in good faith an arrangement whereby in return for access to his materials and knowledge, Jones provides benefits to Montgomery.
Industry has been adopting new designs and new materials and this has generated confusion among surgeons, especially those working in the field of hernia repair.
In the last century the world has seen an unprecedented expansion of economic activity that has generated material prosperity for many, but not for all.
The increased use of composite materials in lightweight structures has generated the need for optimizing the geometry of composite structural parts with regard to strength, weight and cost.
