A lot of editions have lists of materials primarily to build ship hulls. The most different kinds listed I have seen is in T4 FFS.
In T5 we get some mega structures listed Rosettes, Dyson Spheres, & Ringworlds.
In the real world I found some interesting materials in some research papers.
There is another paper that talks about adding Z-axis carbon fibers to a supercomposite materials that increase toughness roughly by 300%, 2.20±0.07 MJ/m^3 to 8.83±2.88 MJ/m^3.
So does anyone know about some interesting materials for traveller ship building and mega structures to fill out higher tech levels?

Material | Density | Ultimate Tensile Strength | |
Boron Nitride Nanotubes/Cu composite 0.3-CMC | 8.853±0.01 g/cm^3 (Experimental) | 216±1 MPa | 104.5±4 (Work Of Fracture) MJ/m^3 |
Additive Manufacture 3D-architected CoCrFeNiMn 0.69 lattice | 7.996 g/cm^3 (Theoretical equiatomic) | not in paper | 333 MJ/m^3 energy absorption |
