Chemicals & Materials - Towards a sustainable Chemical Industry

When talking about the chemical industry, environmental and risks and pollution immediately spring to mind. The report, on the other hand, describes a series of substances created specifically to respect the environment and to create new materials suitable for use in a range of sectors. In particular, the fields analyzed are: construction, fashion and transport. New insulation material, new adhesives and sealers are all described from a more environmentally friendly perspective. Creating a hybrid building sector leads to new materials with new mechanical characteristics. In fashion, we discover new, water repellent, self-cleaning, breathable and above all sanitizing fabrics. Composite materials are already used in transportation, but the report concludes with a series of very special self-healing compounds.
