Report descriptionTechnological developments in the electronics and semiconductor industries have led to the creation of polymers that change shape on the application of voltage. The biggest application for electroactive polymers (EAPs) lies in their future use as actuators and sensors, which in turn opens up a huge spectrum of applications in the fields of electronics, healthcare, sensing, and solar energy generation. With the growing market for each of these applications, EAP is set to become a mainstream market in the next five years. However, the technical specifications for each application differ widely, and extensive research and investments are still needed for developing application-specific EAPs. The global electroactive polymers product market is expected to be worth US$2.78 billion by 2014. The conductive plastics segment contributed 84% to the overall market in 2009, mainly due to its extensive application in electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic interference. As the EAP market is still in the early phase, it presents many advantages for the early movers. As there are not too many companies involved now, detailed knowledge of the competitors will be crucial for...more

By Leslie Pratch and Raj AlurDecember 29, 2009In our first entry in this series, we wrote:"If businesses in the U.S. cut salary and fringe costs by 35-65% (fringe costs consisting mostly of health care and dental, disability, life insurance), we will become a more competitive economy, especially compared to countries with an edge in information technology. We recognize we need to reflect on this issue and will do so in coming posts."Edward Hadas, Martin Huchinson, and Antony Curry do some of the analysis for us in their post, dated Nov. 11, 2009. Their journalism indicates that although the global wage gap is shrinking, wages in the U.S. for comparable products exceed those of foreign workers.We in the United States must find a way to compete with lower-cost producers in Eastern Europe, Asia, and elsewhere without eliminating our legal system and other mechanisms that allow the U.S. economy to function in a more or less transparent and fair way, and which protect workers' rights. We are not advocating slave labor, of which many readers accused us. We would all like to enjoy the prosperity of the 1980s and much of the 1990s. But we will not remain competitive in a global economy in...more
