Description

This edition of the Advanced Coating & Surface Technology Opportunity Engine highlights innovations related to conformal coatings, UV cured coatings, nanocoatings, and additives. The TOE focuses on enteric capsules for targeted drug delivery, silicone conformal coating for protecting electronics, a high-performance coating additive that is easy to mix, and an eco-friendly alternative to UV-cured coatings. The TOE also covers ultra-thin protective coatings, water-based coatings, waterborne coatings, and siliconized acrylic-based sealants for building & construction materials.

The Advanced Coating & Surface Technology Opportunity Engine provides intelligence on technologies, products, processes, applications, and strategic insights on various coatings across industries. This encompasses protective and functional coatings such as antimicrobial coatings, food coatings, energy-saving coatings, smart glazing, hydrophilic, hydrophobic and super hydrophobic coatings, corrosion protection coatings, barrier coatings and paints.

The Chemicals and Advanced Materials cluster tracks research & innovation trends and developments across specialty chemicals, plastics, polymers, chemicals, bio-chemicals, metals, coatings, thin films, surface treatments, composites, alloys, oil and gas, fuel additives, fibers and several other related technologies and its impact and application across industries.
