Drivers include increasing demand for flexible packaging due to the growth in food & pharmaceuticals and superior mechanical strength, higher transparency, chemical resistance and excellent gas barrier properties. (packagingstrategies.com)
This would enable parts to have greatly reduced weight but equivalent mechanical strength — for example by having a dense outer shell and a lighter inner structure. (sciencedaily.com)
The nanotubes enhance the conductivity and mechanical strength of the electrodes. (sciencedaily.com)
