doitLP, I help inventors and startups navigate new product development every day. Materials projects are notoriously hard, but I’ve done some. A great way to start is to build a prototype. Better, build 10. Some works like, somme looks like. Be willing to settle for performance on only one dimension. While it’s obvious these prototypes can be used to prove out the idea, the other big value is to use them to communicate the idea quickly to others. Three groups of people you could communicate to next are 1) potential team mates 2) subject matter experts 3) design engineers. I fall into category 3, design engineer. Feel free to drop an email at adam@swopdesignsolutions.com and I can get you pointed in the right direction. There’s no expectation you’ll work with us. We just love design engineering and are happy to help. - Adam
