Consequently, there is a need to better understand the relationship between materials synthesis and consolidation parameters at different scales in order to maintain desired functional properties. Structure-property relationships can strongly depend on manufacturing method (e.g., thermodynamic vs. Scale-up can result in inhomogeneous mixing and uneven mass and heat gradients that influence material function. Thereafter, during scale up, replicating properties can pose a number of challenges. Discovery synthesis approaches for new AFMs require materials to be made faster and consistently, so that properties can be compared within compositional space. Materials Processes: Research involving discovering and translating AFMs from the bench to commercial products can be challenging. AFMs can be further consolidated into larger hierarchical arrangements, using additive manufacturing or electrospinning for example, with nano-/micro-structure or surface characteristics that impart new functionality. AFMs can be designed, synthesized, (or modelled) to possess different (nano)particle/cluster attributes, such as bulk and/or defect structures and surface properties.
