Material ConneXion is an online database that provides access to information on materials including images, detailed material descriptions, usage characteristics, and manufacturer and distributor contact information, through a simple, non-technical search interface. It is currently comprised of more than 4,500 samples of innovative materials and processes – and growing at a rate of more than 40 materials per month. The content provided is complete enough to satisfy an engineer or scientist who is expert in materials, yet user-friendly enough to benefit the architect and designer who is not.

You can access Material ConneXion through the databases link on the UBC Library homepage, or by clicking here.
