The role of materials innovation in overall technological development
Abstract
A new method is presented in this paper for quantitatively assessing the role of materials innovation in overall technological development. The method involves the comparative examination of overall technical capability metrics with performance metrics at detailed levels of progress where materials/process innovation dominates the progress.
