It probably needs several military applications first. For example, you very rarely see transparent aluminum (also known as ALON®) in windows 30 years after its invention, but we wouldn't even be making it, for example for IR missile domes, if its development hadn't been funded by the U.S. Department of Defense.

The next step would then be special medical applications. For example, as a synthetic material for implants. And there you wouldn't want ultra strength, but a certain bounciness and relatively low density.
