Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/11/2013 -- In the past five years or so, smart (i.e. self-dimming) windows have taken off in both residential and commercial building markets. They are also increasingly used in automobiles and trucks. There are several different smart windows technologies, but all of them are materials plays in one way or another. NanoMarkets believes that, as a result, there are important opportunities for materials firms that are emerging from the smart windows “revolution.”

The objective of this report is to identify and quantify these opportunities. The report contains a granular eight-year forecast in both volume and value terms as well as an assessment of the strategies being deployed in this market by notable firms.

In this report NanoMarkets discusses the opportunities for materials in smart windows and mirrors using electrochromic, photochromic, thermochromic, PDLC, SPD and microblinds. The forecasts and analysis cover not only the active smart materials used in these technologies, but also the substrate materials; both plastic and glass. We also examine changing manufacturing patterns within the smart windows sector.

In addition, this report analyzes a number of different business models being used in the smart windows sector and shows how materials play into the total smart windows value chain. We also discuss the role of technology licensing, as well as direct supply of smart coatings and other materials to glass and windows firms.

NanoMarkets has been covering the smart glass business for more than five years and has therefore acquired a deep understanding of the dynamics of the smart windows sector and of materials selection within that sector. We believe that this report will be of vital interest to specialty chemical firms, as well as both display and build glassmakers, along with windows firms.

Collagen and (Hyaluronic Acid) HA-Based Biomaterials Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis-details/collagen-and-hyaluronic-acid-ha-based-biomaterials-market-global-industry-analysis-size-share-growth-trends-and-forecast-2013-2019

Biomaterials are referred to as natural or synthetic materials intended to use in several applications such as prosthetics, therapeutic, diagnostic and storage applications. These materials come in contact with various elements of biological systems such as biological fluids and various tissues. These materials can either be obtained from nature or synthesized in the laboratory with help of various chemical synthesis procedures. Based on the nature of the biomaterials there are three types of biomaterials used namely, naturally derived materials, semi-synthetic or hybrid and synthetic biomaterials.

Metals, polymers, ceramics and composites are some of the examples of synthetic biomaterials and natural biomaterials that comprises animal or plant derived biomaterials such as various proteins (collagen, elastinand others). Collagen is one of the most abundant form of proteins present in the human body, use of these biomaterials in the tissue engineering have increased extensively. This is attributed by its features such as biodegradability, easy availability, versatility and biocompatibility. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is referred to as a natural substance present in body fluids, highest concentration being in eye and joint fluids. The U.S. FDA has approved the use of HA during certain surgical procedures such as cataract removal, eye surgery, corneal transplantation and others.

Collagen and HA based biomaterials have potential applications in the field of regenerative medicine, personal healthcare, development of prosthetics and various aesthetic procedures. The collagen and HA based biomaterials market can be segmented based on product type, applications and geography. Collagen biomaterials comprise urinary incontinence implants, stress incontinence, collagen corneal shields and others. Facial dermal fillers, HA soft tissue fillers and HA based viscosupplements are some of the HA based biomaterials. The geographic segmentation comprises of four major regions namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and RoW.

Some of the major factors encouraging market growth constitutes the constant rise in geriatric population, increased preference for personal healthcare, continuous technological upgradations followed by heightened demand for anti-aging treatments. Working women and baby boomers constitutes prime target population of this market.

Dimethyl Ether Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis-details/dimethyl-ether-market-global-industry-analysis-size-share-growth-trends-and-forecast-2013-2019

Dimethyl Ether is clean, liquefied, colourless gas produced by dehydration of methanol. Dimethyl Ether is also called as wood ether or methyl ether. It exhibit properties similar to liquid petroleum gas (LPG) or natural gas (NG), and hence can be used as an alternative for fire and transportation fuel. It is also used as propellant in consumer products which include domains such as household products, personal health care products (hairspray,foam shaving cream, antiperspirant, etc.), insect control and various other applications.

DME production as well as consumption has been dominated by China. Chemrec, a Sweden based company has stared a new bio-based DME manufacturing facility. DME has been emerged as a potential alternative traditional resources of fuels.DME is most predominantly used in diesel engine as an alternative fuel. Growing demand for energy across the world is expected to be the major growth engine for DME market. To reduce the dependence on increased consumption of natural resource DME being ecofriendly in nature can be intensively used by automobile industries. DME can also be used to solve environmental conservation problem.

Leading automobile industry giants such as Renault and Volvo have developed DME based fuel engine for buses. Major restraint of this market is developing process technologies being used. Due to lower viscocity and lubricity than diesel DME needs purpose built fuel injection systems. Hence very few vehicle test have being performed on DME based fuel engine. The durability and performance of DME fuel injection systems is major concern for the end users and is expected to be the major restraining force for DME market. Design of fuel injection system for DME is problematic due to problems created by chemical properties .Hence future work would include development of electronic fuel injection system for DME. One of the major hurdle for DME as transportation fuel is cost involved in investment and setup of distribution infrastructure.

Some of the major companies that develop DME as alternative to transportation fuel are Haldor Topsoe, Amoco, Aveflor, Toyo Engineering Corporation, Jiutai Energy (Zhangjiagang) Co., Ltd.
