This week Andrew Pokelwaldt joins me on the show as we discuss some of the expanded applications for ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). CMCs are widely used in the aerospace and energy sectors but their ability to be used in extreme conditions makes them attractive for other industries as well. 

Like ceramics, they are hard and stable at higher temperatures, but also extremely lightweight and possess significantly higher fracture toughness & thermal shock resistance.
