Maurice Ward was a British inventor best known for his invention of Starlite, a thermal shielding material. He was a former hairdresser from Hartlepool, County Durham, England. Ward believed he should not sell his material directly or allow unsupervised research due to the potential for reverse engineering, and he maintained that he should keep 51% ownership of the formula for Starlite because he valued the material to be worth billions; this is believed to have stunted its commercial success. The formulation for Starlite, a technology which might have revolutionised the world of aerospace and materials science, may have been lost with his passing, although, he hinted during a radio talk show interview that his family might hold information relating to the invention. Starlite was reported

Il aurait transmis le secret de fabrication à sa femme et ses quatre filles, mais celles-ci n'ont jusqu'à présent jamais produit un échantillon qui pourrait prouver que Ward n'a pas emporté son secret dans sa tombe.
