Finding May Unshackle The Potential Of Composite Materials.
Summary:
In an advance that could lead to composite materials with virtually limitless performance capabilities, a University of Wisconsin-Madison scientist has dispelled a 50-year-old theoretical notion that composite materials must be made only of "stable" individual materials to be stable overall.
Rock-solid option The Engineer, UK
Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the US have recently developed a unique barium titanate and tin composite that is the first material known to be stiffer than diamond.
Materials World NEW 'EXTRALIBRAL' COMPOSITE 'STIFFER THAN DIAMOND'
Materials World magazine, 1 Apr 2007. Diamond's title as the world's stiffest material may have been usurped by a new composite made up of molten tin and the mineral barium titanate.
