Take a look around you right now. Everything you see, from the clothes on your back, to the phone or computer in your hand, to the chair you are sitting on, it’s all made from materials. Plastic, metal, fabric, wood, glass, the list goes on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But while we are very familiar with everyday materials like those, there’s another fascinating world of advanced materials driving innovation all around us. You might not realize it, but many of the products you use daily rely on specially engineered, high-tech materials to function safely, effectively, and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are Advanced Materials?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Advanced materials are innovative substances that have been designed and fabricated to possess very specific, enhanced properties suited for particular applications. This could mean being extremely lightweight yet strong, highly heat-resistant, exceptionally insulating, or able to conduct electricity with incredible efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced materials often combine two or more conventional materials in unique ways to create new composites with hybrid functionalities. Carbon fiber reinforced plastics and aerogel are perfect examples of these composite advanced materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re All Around You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do not think advanced materials only apply to rocket ships and robots, though. These high-tech marvels are surprisingly widespread across all kinds of common products:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
