This paper examines how materials libraries are used as tools for
interdisciplinary collaboration in 3 research projects that inhabit a
disciplinary triangle between materials research, design and user needs:
PhysFeel, which explores how materials collections can be used in psychological
therapies; Light.Touch.Matters, a design-led project to develop new smart
materials; and Hands of X, which uses materials collections to develop a bespoke
prosthetics service. The paper analyses and contrasts these case studies to
better understand the affordances and limitations of materials collections when
used as research, translational and design tools. We conclude that in
collaborations between materials researchers, designers and end users, tensions
arise as a result of the primacy that each partner gives to creativity, the
development of new knowledge and to solving societal problems. The use of a
materials library addresses many of these issues but is not a panacea for all the
problems associated with interdisciplinary working.
