There must be thousands. However, this list is long enough to make my point. All these materials are in common use. If Stuart Kauffman were writing this, he would write a long, profound chapter about the space of materials, but I'm trying to keep this short, so I will just pose the question and let the reader imagine what Kauffman would say. Fifty years ago, some people thought plastic would replace everything else.
Plastic is cheap and comes in a myriad of forms.
It seemed to have the potential to become the universal material. It has in fact become ubiquitous, but it hasn't superseded other materials. All the materials that were in common use before the advent of plastics are still in common use. Each material has its place. It's hard to think of any material that has been completely superseded.
