Because of its unique combination of cost and performance, DMMC is likely to be appropriate for applications in many manufacturing industries. Several all-terrain bicycle (ATB) applications are presently being commercialized. This thesis focuses on the policy Duralcan should follow to market DMMCs to the manufacturers of ATB applications. More specifically, the thesis identifies the combination of performance and price that Duralcan has to offer before DMMC is incorporated into designs for ATB frames, disc brake rotors, and wheel rims.
