Advanced materials include engineered polymers, alloys, two-dimensional substances, and insulation with tailored properties. They matter where lighter, more durable, lower-impact materials can improve products and manufacturing processes.
Acoustic metamaterials are engineered structures designed to control sound and other mechanical waves in ways not typically found in natural materials.
Aerogels and other advanced insulation systems are lightweight or highly porous materials and structures designed to limit heat transfer.
Bio-based and biodegradable polymers are polymer materials made partly or wholly from renewable biological resources, designed to break down through biological processes, or both.
Carbon fiber composites are materials made by combining carbon fibers with a surrounding matrix, commonly a polymer resin, to achieve high strength and low weight.
Conductive polymers are organic polymers that can transport electrical charge, either through their molecular structure or through chemical doping.
Graphene and 2D materials are atomically thin materials made of one or a few layers of atoms, with properties that differ from their bulk forms.
High-entropy alloys are metallic materials composed of several principal elements, often in similar proportions, rather than one dominant base element.
MXenes and transition metal dichalcogenides are families of two-dimensional materials made from transition metals and other elements.
Nanocellulose materials are materials made from cellulose particles or fibers with nanoscale dimensions, including crystals, fibrils, and bacterial nanocellulose.
Phase change materials absorb or release heat as they change between physical states, making them useful for storing and regulating thermal energy.
Self-healing polymers and coatings are polymer-based materials designed to repair damage or restore function without conventional external repair.
Ultra-high-temperature ceramics are refractory ceramic materials designed to retain useful properties at extremely high temperatures.
