✦ Synopsis

The second symposium firmly marked the entry of the newly formed Biological Materials Committee into the TMS community. The event was co-sponsored by two divisions within TMS, the Materials Processing & Manufacturing Division (EPMD) and the Structural Materials Division (SMD), and partially supported by TMS funds. The principal theme of this symposium was the interaction of materials and biological systems, an area that is emerging as a new frontier in Materials Science and Engineering. The Biology-Materials connection is a fertile field of research with limitless possibilities.
