Modern Material’s Needs

• Engine efficiency increases at high temperatures: requires high temperature withstanding materials

• Use of nuclear energy requires solving problem with residues, or advances in nuclear waste processing.

• Hypersonic flight requires materials that are light, strong and resist high temperatures.

• Optical communications require optical fibers that absorb light negligibly.

• Civil construction – materials for unbreakable windows.

• Structures: materials that are strong like metals and resist corrosion like plastics.
