Durability is a broadly defined term. Durability against stress, shock, temperature, radiation, small children and so on.
Taking just one form - durability in a corrosive environment, AKA seawater; consider high nickel alloy metals, stainless steel in a generic form, will last a log time.
Consider clothing - engineered fibers like Kevlar can last in use, over a wide temperature range, in abrasive environments. Not particularly comfortable but durable.
The task then is to first define Durable in what sense!
