Increased Ability To Alter The Characteristics Of Materials Areas of advance Some typical means Some results New properties for old materials Synthetic materials Combinations of mate- rials to provide unique characteris- tics Chemical and metallurgi- cal knowledge applied to alter properties of materials Better control of purity, additives, and processes New production processes Typical examples: aluminum engine blocks, paper and plastic replace- ment of textile cloth Synthetic fibers, rub- ber, oil, and food Fiberglas, prestressed concrete, ceramic- metallic compounds, laminated wood beams and panels of alumi- num-plastic honeycomb construction Improvement of properties such as strength, weight, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance End-users require different produc- tion processes and work force skills New product design opportunities Lower cost for many materials and/or end products 65 OCR for page 66 Exhibit 5.
