- Ultra high-strength concrete
- Sea balls
- Hollow sphere structures
- Self-reinforced thermoplastics
- Electroactive polymers
- Coconut-wood composites
- Fungus-based materials
- Bioplastics based on polylactic acid
- Blingcrete
- Luminoso
More I've just found... still researching on them to see if we can apply them to our practice:
- self compacting concrete
- permanenet insulated concrete formwork
- composites (Glulam beams, Accoya –chemically treated wood, Parafil,honeycomb materials)
- Nanotechnology (The use of new materials with nano-properties, such as self-cleaning glass, additives to cement etc, which are likely to bemore widely used in the near future)
- Micro “machines” such as radio-trackable tags
