On TV last night there was a demonstration of a thin strip of paper which was put on a tensile testing machine to compare it with the strength of a strip of steel if the same dimensions.
It was stated that it could possibly used in car manufacture as a lighter car is more fuel efficient.
I cannot remember the name of the paper.
If you saw the programme and can retrieve it would you please let me know the name of this special paper
