To put this vision into a working format, a number of technology workshops in areas defined as crucial to the progress of the chemical industry are being conducted. This technology roadmap addresses the materials technology subset of new chemical science and engineering technology, a key area of research in Vision 2020. It was developed with the support and guidance of the Vision 2020 Materials Technology Committee, a group comprised of key individuals from industry, government and academic institutions. To gain input for the roadmap, two workshops were held to cover five major topic areas: 1) New Materials, 2) Materials Characterization, 3) Materials Modeling and Prediction, 4) Additives, and 5) Disassembly, Recovery, and Recycle. The primary objective of the materials technology committee and these workshops was to define actionable recommendations for future research projects involving industry, academic laboratories and government agencies which can have a significant impact on the future of the domestic chemical (materials) industry. The key research objectives identified are summarized below. New Materials C Explore New Conce ...
