Spring 2002. Industry Study 5420-18. Strategic Materials

Abstract

The Strategic Materials industry contributes to economic prosperity and military strength because its products enable performance advantages on a national scale. Heavily reliant on technological innovation to remain competitive, this diverse industry includes a broad range of products from metals to nanoscale materials. Research and development and the ability to respond flexibly to promising discoveries are essential to maintaining a competitive advantage within the commercial and defense sectors in an increasingly globalized world. Collaborative efforts between government, industry and academia push the edges of scientific and technological possibility in search of new materials and applications that will revolutionize the way Americans live and work.
