Abstract
The results of research into new materials are increasingly pushing the boundaries of science and technology. For some of the materials, such as polymers, composites and nanomaterials, new knowledge is expected in the future. However, new knowledge is also being gained in the case of metal alloys, which were considered to have been fully investigated. Thus, in 2018, new knowledge emerged about materials that are believed to be able to significantly influence many areas of modern society. They include seven completely different materials such as polymers, nanocomposites, and metal alloys. The materials are Wood Sponge – the greener way to clean up oceans; the strongest bio-material – stronger than steel and its biodegradable; self-healing material – it does it without external stimulant; Platinum Gold Alloy – matching Diamond in wear resistance; Silicon X – better than the original; Indefinitely recyclable plastics – making a case for the future of plastics; and Glass coating that can block sunlight. In this paper, an overview of knowledge about them is given, and their application characteristics are highlighted.
