The impact on the supply of the many high-tonnage and speciality materials essential to sustain our current standard of living.
In the last 50 years synthetic materials have become an integral part of modern life. The fact is that synthetic polymers and polymer matrix composites are essential for numerous industrial, electronics, food and health sectors and they impact on almost all aspects of our existence as well as providing employment for millions of people.
The small molecules which are needed to build polymeric structures largely stem from non-renewable sources i.e. coal, gas and oil, and these will eventually become scarce and will run out. The impact resulting from a shortage of these basic commodities on our energy supplies is widely debated. The impact on the supply of the many high-tonnage and speciality materials which have become essential to sustain our current standard of living is less well explored and will be the focus of this talk.
