In the manufacturing world, everything is about the right materials. They’re the building blocks of progress, people. So it’s no surprise that—as the planet catapults towards a more sustainable future—advanced materials technology is leading the way. Today, man is able to use cutting-edge science and engineering techniques to manipulate substances at an atomic level and create new, purpose-built materials that massively outperform traditional ones. They’re materials like graphene, aerogels, biodegradable plastics, carbon nanotubes and piezoelectric materials.
The benefits of advanced materials are legion; They’re potentially cheaper, and more durable, lighter, sophisticated and user-friendly. And they’re deployed across a variety of industries that Hamilton serves, including aerospace, mobility, and defense and transportation, to name a few. Think Gorilla Glass on smartphones and lighter planes and cars that last longer and run more efficiently—and with smaller footprints. Life-changing innovations with advanced materials are also being used in everything from medical implants and drug delivery systems to magnetic data storage and fiber optics.
Watch this video to learn how Sabanci Holding, one of Turkey’s largest conglomerates, is investing heavily in advanced materials technologies to pioneer a cleaner, carbon free landscape.
It’s tough stuff, just like us.
