The materials science of skin: Analysis, characterization, and modeling
Progress in Materials Science, 2020Abstract Skin is the outermost layer of the body and acts as a primary protective barrier against external agents such as heat, light, infection, and injury. Additionally, skin regulates the temperature of the body and the exchange of fluids. Skin contains a vast network of nerves, glands, and vessels that enable sensing of heat, touch, pressure and ...

A Materials Science-Based Approach to Characterizing Fire Resistive Materials
Journal of ASTM International, 2009Abstract While ASTM E119-07a is commonly employed to establish a fire rating for a fire resistive material (FRM)/steel assembly, the test method provides little quantitative information on either the thermophysical or adhesion properties of the FRM, beyond indicating that they are sufficient to achieve the measured rating. As part of the

Considerations on Outliers in Medical Sciences and Materials Characterization
Solid State Phenomena, 2012Experimental research in both medical sciences and material science rely in many situations on a reduced quantity of available data, due to limited number of patients or high costs of samples. Some statistical data manipulation methods are discussed regarding their applicability, information content, value and limits.

Maximizing Solid-state NMR Sensitivity for Materials Science Characterization
2022A major challenge that plagues nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopists is the inherently low sensitivity of this workhorse characterization technique. This low sensitivity results in long acquisition times and/or costly isotopic-labelling to obtain good resolution and signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios.

Polymer Materials Science: Novel Synthesis and Characterization of Supermolecular Structures
MRS Bulletin, 1991The two feature articles in this issue present numerous contrasts, but both reflect the vitality of research in polymer science today. David Tirrell and co-authors paint a picture of how the techniques of molecular biology may be applied to the synthesis of novel “proteinlike” polymers with control over molecular weight, composition, and ...
