The theme of the meeting was selected to recognize that materials have matured to a stage where significant advances in the future require more than the traditional microstructure-mechanical proerty relationship approach.
Rather, greater emphasis must be placed on synthesis/processing and modelling of advanced materials to achieve enhanced levels of physical and mechanical performance.
