On the importance of microstructure information in materials design: PSP vs PP

The focus of goal-oriented materials design is to find the necessary chemistry/processing conditions to achieve the desired properties. In this setting, a material’s microstructure is either only used to carry out multiscale simulations to establish an invertible quantitative process-structure-property (PSP) relationship, or to rationalize a posteriori the underlying microstructural features responsible for the properties achieved. The materials...
