Strategic Advanced Materials are high-performance materials engineered for critical applications in defense, aerospace, energy, and electronics. These include composites, high-entropy alloys, metamaterials, and superconductors, offering superior strength, conductivity, or thermal resistance. Benefits include enhanced product performance, reduced weight, and extended service life. Industry leaders like 3M, BASF, and Toray, along with defense contractors and research institutions, are driving innovation. With strong IP protection and government-backed R&D, these materials are vital for maintaining technological and economic competitiveness.
