The performance and safety materials division supplies high-performance chemicals and materials that cater to a wide range of industries, examples being performance polymers such Nylon, and high-strength materials used for safety materials, such as DuPontTM Kevlar, Nomex and Tyvek.
Ford: Well, there are a lot of high-strength materials out there that we're working with.
He also blamed rising costs of raw materials and the strength of the yen for contributing to the decline in the overall Bridgestone profits.
The result is that despite the strength of the materials, the process is too expensive to be practical.

Research opportunities include research in the areas of compact energy storage and pulsed power, aerothermal protection systems for flight vehicles, high-strength and dielectric structural materials, and system interfaces between high-power loads and platform power distribution networks.
Expect styling to come to the fore, as vehicle design is less influenced by safety considerations like visibility, window placement, strength and stiffness of materials, bumpers, crumple zones, collapsible steering columns, air bags, seat belts, and padding.

To make the machine commercial strength and add depth to his materials science knowledge, he brought in Weinberg, his onetime chemical engineering professor at the California Institute of Technology.
FORBES: Upstart Symyx is shaking up the stodgy chemicals industry.
By using lightweight aerospace materials like carbon fiber, which has the strength of steel but weighs one-fifth as much, naval architects can design boats that plane across the surface of the water instead of plowing through it.

And even though steel and concrete are still the most cost-effective materials, new combinations of these substances provide greater strength and fire retardance, says W. Gene Corley, senior vice president at Construction Technology Laboratories in Skokie, Ill.
Anti-corrosion agents have long been an industrial strength in Northeast Ohio given our background in advanced materials, polymers and coatings.
