Due to its bond strain and perfect oxygen balance, tetranitrotetrahedrane, an analogue of tetrahedrane with four nitro group substituents, has potential as a high-performance energetic material.
ILC specializes in the use of high-performance flexible materials, serving the aerospace, personal protection, and pharmaceutical industries.
Inflatable structures are those made from high-performance flexible materials, often providing weight, size, and economic advantages over structures made from traditional metal or composite materials.
The military requirements of World War II encouraged developments, which created a need for high-performance materials and helped speed the development of ceramic science and engineering.
Solegear manufactures 100% natural "high-performance" bioplastic materials under the brand name Polysole.
VDM Nickel-Technologie was bought in 1989, for high-performance materials, mechanical engineering and electronics.
According to Zoltek, their goal is to provide low cost carbon fibers to manufacturers which seek high-performance composite materials with specific requirements like high strength and low weight.
These factors increases cost-effectiveness (especially important when using high-performance materials such as aramids for composites).
Bicycles, golf clubs, sailing yachts and even torches are all sold on the basis of their high-performance materials, whether these are relevant or not.
Modern paraglider wings are made of high-performance non-porous materials such as ripstop polyester or nylon fabric.
