Engineers whose defining technological contribution is developing or characterizing a material itself rather than a finished device: battery chemistries, polymers, composites and the materials science that made later devices possible. Belongs here: the lithium-ion battery line (Akira Yoshino, John Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham), Stephanie Kwolek for Kevlar, and Chuck Hull for the additive-manufacturing materials process behind 3D printing. Does not belong here: engineers who apply an already-known material to build a specific device, such as an aircraft frame or a circuit, grouped under Aerospace or Electrical Engineering.
