The phrase
"to engineer the material" means to design, create, and modify a substance or substance's properties. It refers to using scientific knowledge and technology to plan and shape the characteristics or structure of a material to make it more suitable for a specific purpose or improve its performance.

Advised a company engaged in the production, processing and development of neo powders, rare earths, zirconium -
based engineered materials on the WTO complaint against Chinese export restrictions of certain raw materials.
It is also important to note that almost all animal feed in the U.S. is genetically modified, which means that dairy - derived ingredients in our non-GMO products are likely to come from animals that were given some feed that was made with
genetically engineered materials.
As discussed above, nano -
engineered materials in automotive products include polymer nanocomposites structural parts; high - power rechargeable battery systems; thermoelectric materials for temperature control; lower rolling - resistance tires; high - efficiency / low - cost sensors and electronics; thin - film smart solar panels; and fuel additives and improved catalytic converters for cleaner exhaust and extended range.

Then, the process of
engineering those materials will require teamwork, self - reliance and bucketloads of goodwill.
Professor Arulrajah said as an avid coffee drinker he could see baristas throwing away coffee grounds and so decided to test it as
an engineering material.
Nutiva will state how ingredient firms can protect their supply chains from contamination by genetically
engineered materials.
Mead Johnson takes steps to limit the potential for the inadvertent introduction of genetically
engineered materials material during our production processes, such as segregating non-GMO ingredients and flushing or cleaning the production lines before non-GMO formulations are manufactured, but Mead Johnson recognizes that our efforts and those of our suppliers can not ensure the complete absence of genetically engineered materials.
However, there are a number of ways that trace amounts of genetically
engineered materials (often referred to as GMO) might be present in our products, such as manufacturing proximity, fermentation and processing aids or enzymes used in production.
† Not made with genetically engineered ingredients, but trace amounts of genetically
engineered materials may be present in the product from manufacturing environments and process sources.
