Introduction

Technology companies such as chip manufacturers, telecommunications enterprises, and nanotechnology ventures, continually optimize products, aiming to maintain a leading edge. This applies to your use of materials. For example, you may seek to balance the weight and cost of materials used in electronic packaging against their desired strength or thermal behavior. In more advanced research applications, you might wish to combine the outstanding mechanical properties of a new nanomaterial with the cost and processing advantages of an existing matrix material. Across this spectrum, materials information is key - you must both capture and use information about your own materials, and be able to access and apply data on the universe of potentially useful materials.

Whatever your needs, Granta helps through our GRANTA MI materials information management system, our CES Selector design tools, and our unrivalled materials reference data.
