ADVANCED MATERIALS

Advanced materials are materials with engineered properties created through the development of specialized processing and synthesis technology, including ceramics, high value-added metals, electronic materials, composites, polymers, and biomaterials. Also Advanced materials normally have properties that are superior to conventional materials in their applications so they have more benefits for all technology.

Investment in New Materials Research

In 2013, the Graphene was in europe and United States the most researched material in history, launched with a budget of 1 billion euros. The initiative
brings together academic and industrial researchers to take graphene
from the realm of academic laboratories into European society within
this decade.
In October 2014, this movement received further support from the
U.S. government, when President Barack Obama announced a $300
million investment in emerging technology. Much of this funding
went to the Departments of Defense, Energy and Agriculture, along
with NASA, to invest in bio-based materials, advanced sensors and
digital manufacturing.

Uses of Advanced Materials

• Advanced materials in engeneering: In the case of mobile phones and computers, some materials are being investigated that allow the use of new technologies such as quantum computing, which will allow a great advance in technology that will make the devices faster and will have better functions to advance the technology. The materials can also be used to provide new properties to the devices, for example that are lighter. 
• Advanced Materials in clothing: This material can also be used in the textile industry, nowadays companys are researching to use materials that are not so harmful to the environment, and they are trying to transform waste into materials to make clothes so the dont pollute the envyroment and the also recycle.
