Description

This issue of High-Tech Materials Technology Opportunity Engine (TOE) showcases a self-healing waterborne epoxy primer, aluminum-coated basalt-based reinforced fibers, alternative proteins for food and animal feed, and an innovative material for artificial bone replacements. The TOE also covers a low-cost, sustainable, and clean cooking fuel, and a sustainable biofuel for the marine industry. The TOE also focuses on air and water purification systems.

The High-Tech Materials TOE provides intelligence on technologies, products, processes, applications, and strategic insights on various materials across industries. Some material technologies include lightweight materials, bio–based materials, ceramics, smart materials, fibers, nanomaterials, responsive materials, polymers, woven and non woven materials, polymers and plastics and packaging materials.

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

Keywords: Self-healing waterborne epoxy primer, basalt-based reinforced fibers, alternative proteins, artificial bone replacements, clean cooking fuel, biofuel, air and water purification systems
