Abstract: Many of the nation’s key priorities, building resilient infrastructure, mitigating climate change effects, developing an economy built on renewable and sustainable energy sources, enabling advanced manufacturing, exploiting space for the good of humanity and other national security related objectives, will depend in large part on a new generation of advanced materials. This talk will highlight the current state of advanced material production and adoption in the US, as well as compare it with other countries and regions pursuing similar goals.
