Overview
ABSTRACT
The decision to use a new material is difficult and important. It has both technical and economic consequences, making it essential to consider:
- The technical performances
- The cost.
The goal of the following tables is to help quickly clarify the possible applications of the various families. The figures are roughly estimated from professional or government studies and papers or news from technical reviews. These sources can indicate significantly different figures according to the methodology used. Of course that preselection must be followed by an in-depth study.
