The authors wish to thank Nello DelGobbo and Andrej Ma~ek of D.O.E. for their support and encouragement. We are grateful to Donald Ware and Samuel Kaplan of Brueker Instruments, Inc. for performing the nmr measurements and to Alan Davis for selecting and supplying coal samples. Assistance in performing the experiments by Dayle Harmon and David Santos and in setting up the automated data system by Paul Rizauckas and David Hamblen is also gratefully acknowledged. One of us (P.R.S.) would like to express his appreciation to George Gavalas for several useful discussions during the progress of the work.

N2 - As design research has become an accepted research approach, a focus on rationalistic problem solving and the production of artefacts has become the dominant focus. Looking to design research in other disciplines reveals design considerations which inform the practice of design. We consider how practice theory can reveal the interpretations translations and stabilisation of an ecosystem necessary to negotiate a social imaginary - a design. In addition, design occurs within an ecosystem which becomes stabilized through negotiation and action as goals and evaluations evolve. Re-examining a seminal design science research paper through a practice theory lens, reveals underlying actions of design and develop a more holistic expression of design research.
