Abstract
The physical, chemical and mechanical properties of quasicrystalline alloys that may lead to technological applications are briefly reviewed. Some applications, either potential or close to the market, are presented, namely in the fields of energy savings (tribology and reduced adhesion, thermal barriers, solar light absorption) and of the production of high-strength materials. New prospects are raised in the domains of hydrogen storage and catalysis. Altogether, these developments tend to prove that quasicrystalline materials are no longer laboratory curiosities, yet are still of the greatest fundamental interest.
