Description

This edition of the Advanced Coating & Surface Technology Opportunity Engine covers growth opportunities in food coatings and anti-microbial coatings. The TOE focuses on nanocomposite-based edible food preservative coatings, edible natural food preservative coating extracted from plants, and sustainable mono-material packaging for food applications. The TOE also focuses on safe antimicrobial coating for medical devices and orthopedic implants, and an ultra-thin high-performance anti-viral technology.

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.

Keywords: Food coatings, anti-microbial coatings, nanocomposites, edible food preservative coatings, natural food preservative coating, mono-material packaging, orthopedic implants, anti-viral technology.
