Research Overview

This edition of the Advanced Coating & Surface Technology Opportunity Engine highlights innovations related to nanocoatings, antimicrobial coatings, and other coatings. The TOE focuses on nanocoatings for cars and consumer electronics, antimicrobial coatings for clinical environments and public spaces, anti-inflammatory coatings for medical devices, diamond coatings with high-wear resistance and tolerance, lightweight and cost-effective resin-based composite coating for CRFP rollers, and PTFE composite coatings with low frictional values and high lubricity.

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.
