👉 Factor engineering is a design strategy used in materials science and chemical engineering to tailor the properties of materials by systematically altering their chemical composition, microstructure, or processing conditions. This approach involves identifying key factors that significantly influence material performance and then modifying these factors to achieve desired properties such as enhanced strength, improved thermal stability, or better catalytic activity. By optimizing these factors, researchers can create materials with superior performance characteristics, often leading to breakthroughs in various industries including electronics, energy, and healthcare. The process typically includes experimental design, computational modeling, and iterative testing to refine the material's structure and function.
