  • Engineering, whether in the form of product development or manufacturing processes, often drives the selection or creation of new materials in order to meet performance requirements. Conversely, development of new materials, or new ways to process materials, can lead to new engineering capabilities that, in turn, lead to new products or improved product performance. The interplay between materials and engineering is dynamic, ongoing, and critical to the success of many new products and industries. In this article, we take examples of this interplay from four technology companies in different industries developing widely different materials systems. Each example demonstrates the critical role that materials play in creating new products, new manufacturing methods, and even new design methodologies. Our examples come from polymer microfluidic devices, silicon- and nonsilicon-based microelectromechanical systems, and metals additive manufacturing.

  • From academic discovery to industrial applications: Innovation and success in materials science and engineering

  • Turning good ideas and discoveries in the laboratory into commercial and industrial products that succeed in the marketplace is a fraught affair. Most apparently promising leads never get that far, being derailed by lack of funding, unexpected technical hitches, excessive cost, consumer indifference, and other hurdles. This difficult transition without doubt weeds out some ideas that simply don’t have what it takes, but some casualties might have become success stories if the developmental process had been better handled. So what can you do to give your exciting discovery the best possible chance of being the start of something big? And how can universities, companies, and institutions prevent useful innovation from falling by the wayside?
