| Summary |
This inquiry concerns the scope for greater production and use of new and advanced materials based on metals, ceramics, polymers and composites of these materials. A core issue is whether Australian industry is exploiting the growth opportunities that the materials provide to increase the output of high value added products and exports - both by producing new and advanced materials from raw materials, and by incorporating them into products |
