  2. Lightweighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweighting

    Lightweighting is a concept in the auto industry about building cars and trucks that are less heavy as a way to achieve better fuel efficiency, battery range, acceleration, braking and handling. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In addition, lighter vehicles can tow and haul larger loads because the engine is not carrying unnecessary weight. [ 3 ]

  3. Ultralight material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultralight_material

    Ultralight materials are solids with a density of less than 10 mg/cm 3, including silica aerogels, carbon nanotube aerogels, aerographite, metallic foams, polymeric foams, and metallic microlattices. The density of air is about 1.275 mg/cm 3 , which means that the air in the pores contributes significantly to the density of these materials in ...

  4. Carbon fibers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fibers

    Carbon fibers are usually combined with other materials to form a composite. For example, when permeated with a plastic resin and baked , it forms carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (often referred to as carbon fiber), which has a very high strength-to-weight ratio and is extremely rigid although somewhat brittle.

  5. Expanded polystyrene concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_polystyrene_concrete

    Expanded polystyrene (EPS) concrete (also known as EPScrete, EPS concrete or lightweight concrete) is a form of concrete known for its light weight made from cement and EPS (Expanded Polystyrene). It is a popular material for use in environmentally "green" homes.

  6. Cork thermal insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_thermal_insulation

    Cork is a lightweight, reusable, and biodegradable material that is harvested every 9–12 years from the bark of the cork oak (Quercus Suber L.). It has a homogeneous cell structure with thin, regularly arranged cell walls without intercellular spaces. North Africa, as well as parts of Portugal, Spain, and Italy, are home to the cork oak.

    Each year the company makes more than 4 million pairs with at least 70% domestic materials. Look for shoes labeled "made in USA," which are often more-durable but priced higher.

  8. Sandwich-structured composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich-structured_composite

    1) In materials science, a sandwich-structured composite is a special class of composite materials that is fabricated by attaching two thin-but-stiff skins to a lightweight-but-thick core. The core material is normally of low strength, but its greater thickness provides the sandwich composite with high bending stiffness with overall low density.

  9. Expanded clay aggregate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_clay_aggregate

    Lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) or expanded clay (exclay) is a lightweight aggregate made by heating clay to around 1,200 °C (2,190 °F) in a rotary kiln. The heating process causes gases trapped in the clay to expand, forming thousands of small bubbles and giving the material a porous structure.
