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
- Client has agreed to fund development work aimed to test materials and combinations
Conclusion:
- Rapid identification of expertise through scouting and deep internal scientific brainstorm.
- Potential significant impact for current product applications
