Abstract
The main goals of the ‘Material Innovation and Testing’ within MASMICRO are the identification of the miniature/micromaterials which are formable development of new materials for forming and machining development of an integrated materialtesting system and study of material properties for design/analysis applications Examples of collaborative work and results are presented regarding the processing of functional electrospun polymer micro/nanofibre structures and the characterization of their interface properties with tribological testing By means of optical coherence tomography a nondestructive inspection approach for these micro/nanostructured webs was developed and it is also documented in the paper Further an application example of artificial neural networks ANNs is given concerning the modelling of nanofibres material behaviour under tensile testing It is shown how artificial intelligence approaches knowledgebased systems—KBS and ANNs can support significantly the representation and processing of materials’ knowledge of both symbolic type in the case of KBS and algorithmic type in the case of ANNs for the cases dealt within the MASMICRO
