Advancing Materials Research
chemistry. In addition, rheology and viscoelasticity are its special province. There is plenty of scope for intellectual curiosity and creativity, with many unsolved problems even in the “conventional” parts of the field. In these, as well as in some of the new directions we have noted, there is a high probability that the science will lead to practical results and benefits. However, progress will depend in considerable degree on broad and fundamental knowledge and training in materials science as a whole; as we have illustrated repeatedly, a single type of material no longer stands in total isolation from the others, and the basic disciplines are still fundamental to every aspect of materials science.
