2008 Materials Design Competition
The three THEMES of this year’s competition are:
Industrial/Technical and Sports Materials–
Examples: composites, aircraft or automotive components, industrial and technical fabrics, architectural or geo-synthetic materials, industrial filters and advanced sporting equipment or sports garments.
Medical, Biomedical/Protective, Materials and Devices–
Examples include active and/or reactive materials, such as self-detoxifying materials or reactive barrier membranes, which protect the wearer against chemical agents, biological agents and projectiles/improvised explosive devices. chemical/biological protection garments and protection for first responders or soldiers.
Smart/Electronic/Optoelectronic and Nano-materials–
Structures that incorporate computing, sensing, monitoring, imaging and/or broadcasting electronics directly into the material to attain particular end uses would be appropriate for this category. Examples of projects suitable for submission to this category include imaging technologies, camouflage/ electromagnetic management, optical materials, anti-counterfeit materials, conducting polymers, wearable electronic garments, functional nano-materials and integrated electronic or photonic material devices for multifunctional assemblies.
