Question: Do the organic materials that you look at include composites?

Robert Thompson answered on 19 Mar 2012:

No all the materials I look at are pure materials. I look at the intrinsic properties of the material. Which basically means I look at the material when it isn’t effected by anything else and then see what are the properties. I also then look at how the material is effected by unintentional defects. Such as how it would react to the atmosphere.
