Panel 2 —Exploitation of Materials Science and Technology for National Welfare Alan C. Chynoweth, Chairman Vice President, Applied Research Bell Communications Research, Inc. Morris Research and Engineering Center 435 South Street Morristown, NJ 07960 (201) 829-2100 This panel is attempting to assess the impact that materials science and technology can have on U.S. national security and competitiveness in the global economy. The panel is identifying factors particularly important in achieving effective innovations — especially the successful and rapid commercialization of new products that are based on advances in materials science and technology. . . . What lessons concerning institutional and s u p p o r t m e c h a n i s m s can be learned from examples of successful and unsuccessful efforts to achieve significant innovations? . . . What existing institutional and support mechanisms are particularly important in achieving effective a n d rapid inn o v a t i o n s , a n d w h i c h n e e d to b e strengthened? . . . What new institutional and s u p p o r t mechanisms can be recommended to achieve effective a n d rapid innovations? To date, much of the discussion has focused on the successes a n d failures of specific technologies and materials. In addition, there has been an attempt to determine if the institutional setting affects the ability to develop a n d i m p l e m e n t n e w technology and materials. Panel 2 has also conducted two workshops to broaden the data base for making conclusions. Topics considered at the first workshop, Case Studies of Selected Materials and Technologies, October 24, 1986 include: Liquid Crystals Intermetallic Compounds Carbon Fibers Polymers for VLSI Processing Intelligent Materials Processing Optical Fibers Structural Ceramics for Heat Engines
NdFeB Magnets Magnetic Recording for Data Storage Infrared Detectors Topics considered at the second workshop, Examinations of Sel
