Question:

What are some modern materials I can find at home? ?

I'm doing a project and need to find 3 modern materials within my house, what can I use?

Answer:

what era? Manufactured aluminum is fairly modernPlastics are modern (I would go with mylar, although expanded polyurethane is a good choice too)Try food ingredients: there are some wacky chemicals in foodPlywood is rather modernFiberglass insulation.
You must be talking about foam insulation in a wallI wouldn't do that, because you can't control the expansionI used Boracel, a chopped up paper with boron to make it fireproof about 30 years ago in IndianaThey call it cellulose nowIt may swell if it is wetVermiculite (expanded mica 0 is expensive, but won't swell and mice don't like it.
