SUMMARY

The strongest material ever identified is carbon nanotube, known for its exceptional strength and lightweight properties. In addition to naturally occurring materials, the discussion highlights the significance of materials science, which encompasses the study of material properties, structures, and their applications. Teflon is also mentioned for its strength in resisting corrosive substances, specifically fluoroantimonic acid. Understanding these materials is crucial for advancements in materials engineering.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of materials science principles
  • Familiarity with carbon nanotube properties
  • Knowledge of Teflon and its applications
  • Awareness of corrosive substances like fluoroantimonic acid
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties and applications of carbon nanotubes
  • Explore materials science fundamentals and their impact on engineering
  • Investigate the chemical resistance of Teflon in various environments
  • Learn about the implications of fluoroantimonic acid in material selection
USEFUL FOR

Materials scientists, engineers, and anyone interested in the properties and applications of advanced materials.

Hey there!

What's the strongest material ever-existed? By means of either man-made or occurred naturally.

Please attach the links if possible. Currently trying to find out what is material sciences all about.


Thanks.

Materials science is more than determining the strongest material. It's about understanding the basic/fundamental properties of materials, their structure, and how they behave/perform. Materials engineeing is about manipulation of materials and their application.
 
Not sure if this is related, but teflon is pretty strong at least from what I've read.

It can contain fluoroantimonic acid (strongest known corrosive acid) without breaking. The acid corrodes basically everything else.
