In 2004, the material was isolated and characterized by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov at the University of Manchester [10] [11] using a piece of graphite and adhesive tape. [12] In 2010, Geim and Novoselov were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their "groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene". [ 13 ]
Polyamide 11 & 12: Bioplastic: Used in high-performance applications such as sports shoes, electronic device components, automotive fuel lines, pneumatic airbrake tubing, oil and gas flexible pipes and control fluid umbilicals, and catheters. Technora: Copolyamid: High tensile strength, resistance to corrosion, heat, chemicals and saltwater
Researchers at the University of Portsmouth may have found the strongest natural material humankind has ever known. And it's a ... sea snail. Specifically, it's a sea snail's teeth .
Leather is a strong, flexible and durable material obtained from the tanning, or chemical treatment, of animal skins and hides to prevent decay. The most common leathers come from cattle, sheep, goats, equine animals, buffalo, pigs and hogs, ostriches, and aquatic animals such as seals and alligators. [1] [2]
Cambridge tech company is turning waste methane into "green" products to help meet climate targets.
Aramid fibers, short for aromatic polyamide, are a class of heat-resistant and strong synthetic fibers. They are used in aerospace and military applications, for ballistic-rated body armor fabric and ballistic composites, in marine cordage , marine hull reinforcement, as an asbestos substitute, [ 1 ] and in various lightweight consumer items ...

The mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes reveal them as one of the strongest materials in nature. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are long hollow cylinders of graphene. Although graphene sheets have 2D symmetry, carbon nanotubes by geometry have different properties in axial and radial directions.
