From page 29...
... Low tensile ductility and Tow toughness; Grain size (what is optimums; High cost of synthesis and processing of material; Scale-up from small laboratory samples to large amounts; Stability of microstructures over long time periods, especially at elevated temperatures; Modeling and simulation (need to link atomistic and continuum modeling to provide predictive capability for the behavior of nanostructured materials) ; Industry need for fast return on investment; and Lack of trained people anti the need for interdisciplinary teams.

... What is the role of academia with respect to education? Several participants mentioned some existing programs (e.g., Rice University and Northwestern University programs for interdisciplinary teaming of technical M.B.A.'s and Ph.D.'s and nontechnical M.B.A.'s)
