The strength-ductility trade-off is an eminent factor in deciding the mechanical performance of a material with regard to specific applications. The strength-ductility synergy is generally inadequate in as-synthesized high entropy alloys (HEAs); however, it can be tailored owing to its tunable microstructure and phase stability. Thermo-mechanical processing (TMP) allows the microstructure to be tailored to achieve desired strength-ductility combination.

The treatment of sequelae for burns or other loss of perioral tissues is complex due to the site where they occur, its functional importance, and social and esthetic aspects. Functional consequences of burns to this area are cutaneous retraction and a lack of skin that can lead to an inability to close the oral aperture, compromising the provision of dental hygiene and intubation procedures.
