High-Tech Materials Alert reports developments in advanced materials, including new processes to create and manufacture them. Each issue keeps you informed of important new developments as they emerge from the laboratory towards commercialization, including advances in electronics and photonic materials, biomaterials, composites, ceramics, high-performance metals and alloys, novel polymers, diamond-like materials, and intermetallics. Our analysts go directly to the primary researchers themselves to find out what is in development and what is likely to have a significant commercial impact.

Each month, a special Market Forecast section thoroughly analyzes an individual advanced material or materials process. In addition to an expert forecast of growth rates, market demand, and market size, this section examines key factors such as supply and demand, obstacles to commercialization, existing and pending applications, and principle alternatives. With research occurring across a wide range of industries, High-Tech Materials Alert is the most efficient way to stay abreast of significant advances in materials and materials processes regardless of where they may originate.
