From the Lab to the Field : Organic Materials for Industrial Applications and Environmental Remediation

© 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH..

Many new developments for different industries have their origin in basic science. In recent years, this trend has gained attention due to the increasing interaction between academic science and industry. This article presents some rational materials for chemical modifications that were developed by the basic science, then transferred to the productive sector. Conducting hydrophobic coatings for aerospace applications, hydrogels for the oil and gas industry, as well as polymers for removal of heavy metal, were some of the topics approached in the lab to solve industrial problems. Many times, nature is a great source of inspiration to produce new materials. In this sense, superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity (concepts closely related to our everyday life) were the bioinspiration for the development of membranes. These membranes were able to separate hydrocarbons and water, which found application in the treatment of subterranean water for the oil and gas industry.
