developments in new materials

What is materials development?

Involves the discovery and design of new substances with specific improved properties.

What are engineered polymers?

Polymers designed for customized traits like flexibility, strength, or heat resistance which are created through controlled chemical reactions.

What are composite materials?

Materials composed of two or more distinct phases, combining properties like high strength and low weight which can be found in aerospace and automotive industries.

What are nanomaterials?

Materials with structures at the nanoscale (1-100 nm), exhibiting unique properties due to their size, such as enhanced reactivity or conductivity, used in electronics, medicine, and energy.
