The Importance of Materials Science and Material Engineering
Chemists and engineers have invented light weight materials with which to manufacture strong large and small parts. Electrical engineers have invented VLSI semiconductor chips, sensors, antenna and such based on materials technology and functional material combinations. And optical engineers employ material science to produce fiber optics cable crafted from glass, graded coatings and protective jacketing.Clients seek material engineers and consultants when they are developing new products or having manufacturing problems. They seek help when parts fail and they need to understand fundamental mechanisms. CECON has hundreds of qualified consultants who are expert in the materials field, including metals, alloys, inorganic materials, ceramics, glass, plastics, polymers, elastomers, composites. Material science also includes physical chemical issues such as adhesion, flocculation, dispersion, wear, adhesion, lubricants and the strength and durability of materials.
