From page 3...
... Characterization is the measurement of chemical and physical properties of materials, with the goal of achieving understanding of the same and similar materials based on their chemical bonding, atomic structure, and microscopic and macroscopic perfection. Characterization also provides a basis for specifying and improving materials for particular applications.

From page 4...
... This difference results from the interdisciplinary nature of 5ACAM, which call" for substantial research interaction among scientists working in materials preparation, characterization, and theory. Such interaction has been more readily achieved in industrial and national laboratories than in university laboratories.
