It would be nice to have a place where you could inspect samples of new materials. There you could hold, bend, twist and study the latest plastics, fabrics, and construction materials as they come out of the lab. Second best would be a website/book that linked to sources and descriptions of new stuff. That’s what this book and website do. Artists, inventors and makers will find it a Fantastic sources for information about new innovations in material science. Author Blaine Brownwell has collected, annotated and sourced as many imaginative, green and unusual materials for sale as he could find. His collection includes metal fabrics, metal-coated plastic hybrids, and so on. Two hundred new materials in all. You still have the problem of getting your hands on small samples, but having some photos, the specs, and the website of the manufacturer is a huge first step. (Brownwell co-edits Materials Monthly, a publication that sends out one sample per month, but the subscription price is dear at $200/year.)
