AY 2002-2003 Industry Study: Final Report Strategic Materials

Abstract

Strategic materials are those materials, along with research, development, and technology that are critical in ensuring a US competitive advantage, both economically and with respect to national security capabilities. Emerging innovative material technologies are those enabling greater levels of designed-in properties, functionality, and application, as well as the creation of fundamentally new materials. Technological innovations in materials science affect many of the elements of national power. Ultimately, strategic materials are critical transformation enablers for our society, economy, and national security.
