Kevlar and Twaron are tough materials, but there’s a bit of a trade-off to be made between strength, heat resistance and weight. Now, researchers have created a new nanofiber material that’s ...

This new super material is a game changer for firefighters and soldiers who need protection. It's just as strong as Kevlar, but incredibly heat-resistant.

Japanese manufacturer The Polyplastics Group (Polyplastics) has announced a high-performance material that it says offers heat resistance and thermal insulation properties for EV lithium-ion ...

Scientists have identified materials that can withstand temperatures of nearly 4,000 degrees Celsius, an advance that may pave the way for improved heat resistant shielding for the faster-than ...

Ceramics are versatile materials, as they’re not only known for their heat resistance, but also their strong qualities that make the materials perfect for pottery, armor, and various other consumer ...

The base materials are not new: Kevlar and Nomex, two common fibers in flame-resistant clothing, were first developed in the 1960s. But these clothes’ fiber blends and construction are always in ...

Heat-resistant nanophotonic material could help turn heat into electricity. ScienceDaily. Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2022 / 09 / 220923090931.htm.

The new material works toward solving that problem, besting the previous record for heat resistance among air-stable photonic crystals by more than 900 degrees Fahrenheit in open air.
