THIS IS A REPORT ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS—how to understand them and how to nurture them. What relationships? The relationships among the producers of materials and the users of materials. These relationships are depicted visually in Figure ES-1. This is also a report about processes. What processes? The processes of innovation—from the generation of knowledge through development and application to the ultimate integration of a material into a useful product. | MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING FORGING STRONGER LINKS TO USERS NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING FORGING STRONGER LINKS TO USERS Committee on Materials Science and Engineering Forging Stronger Links to Users National Materials Advisory Board Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems National Research Council Publication NMAB-492 NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS Washington .
