Problem:

  • Unsafe materials and reactions for fibres cross-linking and polymerisation
  • Incomplete reaction at low temperatures

yet2 Strategy and Role:

  • Identified components, such as acids, polyols, amines, aldehydes, or even ketones
  • Deep organic/polymer chemistry brainstorm
  • Advised a selection of chemicals to test and experts to collaborate with

Results:

  • New chemistries/expertise and access to testing facilities
  • Access to chemistry knowledge from other industries
  • Technical phone meetings
  • Client has agreed to fund development work aimed to test materials and combinations

targets
Conclusion:

  • Rapid identification of expertise through scouting and deep internal scientific brainstorm.
  • Potential significant impact for current product applications
