This edition of Future Tech TOE focuses on fire retardant and fire resistant materials. It gives an overview of the requirements for fire retardancy and resistance as well as different approaches of achieving fire retardancy and resistance. It also covers the different application areas of fire retardant and resistant materials. The TOE also lists the key materials that are used to achieve fire retardancy and resistance and it also includes the trends in different regions such as Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific. This issue also includes IP trends analysis as well as a technology roadmap.

The Future Tech TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE) captures emerging innovations in research and development, or profiles existing technologies which have seen a resurgence in terms of new markets and applications. It usually provides a technology overview, drivers, challenges, research and development, analyst insights and key patent information. In some cases, technology convergence scenarios and future growth opportunities are outlined. It covers innovations and technologies in a variety of industry spaces including manufacturing, sensors, electronics, information and communications technologies, networks, lighting technologies, healthcare, medical devices, materials and coatings, and developments in the energy sector that contribute toward a sustainable and greener world.

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.
