1. Introduction to materials testing laboratories
What is a material? This question is surprisingly more complex for the layperson than may be expected. The definition of "materials" has varied significantly over the years, dependent on the course of study, laboratory, author, etc. A 1974 definition by Richardson and Peterson that has seen some use in academic study defines a material as "any nonliving matter of academic, engineering, or commercial importance."[1] But recently biomaterials like biopolymers (as replacements for plastics) and even biological tissues may be referenced as "materials." And what of matter that doesn't have "academic, engineering, or commercial importance"; can it now be called a "material" in 2023? What if the matter hasn't been thoroughly studied to determine its value to researchers and industrialists?
Materials are inherently linked to creation (manufacturing and construction).
1.1 Materials testing labs, then and now
1.2 Industries, products, and raw materials
1.3 Laboratory roles and activities in the industry
1.3.1 R&D roles and activities
1.3.2 Pre-manufacturing and manufacturing roles and activities
1.3.3 Post-production quality control and regulatory roles and activities
