我的“材料科学四面体“理论讲述的是以下四因子间的关系：材料结构， 材料特征，材料性能，制作流程。 我个人经验表明这对发展新材料，或解决制造流程遇到的问题大有帮助。 若有兴趣，敬请联系。定会送上全文。* 

     The concept of materials science tetrahedron (MST) concisely depicts the inter-dependent relationship among the structure, properties, performance, and processing of a drug. Similar to its role in traditional materials science, MST encompasses the development in the emerging field of pharmaceutical materials science and forms a scientific foundation to the design and development of new drug products. Examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of MST to both pharmaceutical research and product development. It is proposed that a systematic implementation of MST can expedite the transformation of pharmaceutical product development from an art to a science. By following the principle of MST, integration of research among different laboratories can be attained. The pharmaceutical science community as a whole can conduct more efficient, collaborative, and coherent research.
