  • Electroactive polymer market volume is forecast to grow almost tenfold in the next five years, dominated by consumer electronics (38%), actuators and sensors applications. The most prominent application is haptics for portable consumer devices with a touch screen. The highest potential lies in new application fields, such as consumer electronics, where first prototypes and evaluation studies have been just recently demonstrated. For medical and energy harvesting applications the next 5 to 10 years are crucial. Read more inElectroactive polymer market to reach US$245 mln in 2013
  • Electroactive polymers (EAPs) have the ability to change shape when voltage is applied and transform electrical energy directly into motion. A new technology produces haptic responses that immerse users in a high-definition (HD) world of tactile experience. Actuators produce a one-of-a-kind cinematic sensation that bridges the senses of seeing, hearing and feeling. The new technology is not only more responsive, it is lighter, smaller, quieter and more energy efficient.

  • An improved macroeconomic climate is forecast to boost overall demand for plastics. In particular, a strong rebound in construction activity will drive new demand for plastics additives. To know about the growing segments, factors impacting growth, growing applications and growth areas, market outlook, etc readUS demand for specialty plastic additives forecast to rise 4.5% pa to 4 bln lbs in 2017
  • A pan-continent team has carried out the world's first synthetic organ transplant, after scientists in London created an artificial windpipe which was then coated in stem cells from the patient. The Y-shaped structure was then coated in a novel polymeric nanocomposite material. Because the organ included the patient's own cells, the patient did not need to take immunosuppressive drugs to prevent a rejection of the organ.

  • Demand for plastics pipes is growing globally- in developing nations it is driven by access to water supply and sanitation, and in developed nations, it will be boosted by a rebound in construction spending. In particular, a recovering US construction industry will drive demand gains. Plastic pipe will continue to supplant competing materials in many construction applications due to its low cost, installation ease, and performance advantages.
