## Abstract Previous observations on polysaccharides used as viscoelastic agents in ophthalmic surgery suggest that the pseudoplasticity of solutions of hyaluronan (HA) and the low surface tension of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) solutions are physical properties that make these solutions use

โฆ Synopsis
Recent progress in three dierent areas involving the modeling of the physical properties of composites is reviewed. These include: (i) theoretical approaches to microstructure/property relations; (ii) X-ray microtomography, an imaging technique that enables one to obtain high-resolution three-dimensional microstructural phase information of a composite sample in a non-intrusive manner; and (ii) topology optimization, a promising numerical technique that enables one to design composites with tailored material properties. Current limitations and future research needs are described.
