Materials, with intent

The right material
begins with the
right question.

What must it do? Where must it work? How will you know it works? These questions guide the pathway from material selection to meaningful evaluation.

  • Define the target application
  • Discuss material and processing requirements
  • Agree on samples, scope, and evaluation
