Chemicals And Basic Materials Survey
Hi, i am the founder & ceo of zintro.
We are brainstorming on ways that we can deliver more high quality inquiries in the chemicals and basic materials markets to you. Specifically, we are looking for inquiries that could lead to larger projects as opposed to just micro-consults (although those are ok too.). It would be great if you could help us help you. Specifically:
1. What is the title/department/division/company of individuals we should we target to improve our chances of finding you good prospects?
2. How would you describe the projects? E.G. Related to plant setup? Production? Distribution? Engineering? Equipment purchase? Supply/demand? Uses for chemicals? Etc.
3. Are there any specific companies/divisions/departments you think we should target?
4. Where are most of your current customers? Near your office? What state, region, country?
Thanks so much for your help. Hopefully, we will deliver some good projects to you soon.

We are looking for a materials expert with a specific skillset in very hard and durable materials such as ceramics and more specifically sapphire (al2o3). Specifically, we want to identify those in the medical device field working with crystalline structures such as sapphire and also laser fiber optics.
We need proven experience with evaluating these materials in terms of their strength and more importantly studying their failure modes due to either mechanical or thermal stresses.
The analysis may involve studying existing components and their fracture modes evaluating root causes of such fracture and later performing computational analysis such as finite element analysis (fea) to study the specific design function and performance we expect from such a material.
I can’t stress enough that we are really seeking a leading expert in material properties and analysis of such crystalline structures as sapphire with a proven history in their design and use in various mechanical or medical devices. We are particularly interested in learning more about the thermal properties and how thermal stresses can impact failure modes.

The key questions in my mind are
raw material market overview- supply chain and participants.
Who are the end user industries (buyers) for these chemical raw materials (mentioned above?)
what are the parameters that are considered for transaction (buying and selling) chemical raw materials?
Shelf life
packaging parameter
environmental conditions
(if there are other parameters kindly elaborate)
what are the contracting terms and conditions-legal restriction, transport terms, etc.
What are the various costs involved? What are the pricing model adopted by the buyer and the supplier?

+6 Other ResponsesProcurement And Collection Of Bio Materials
Our client is interested in speaking with experts who can provide insights into the procurement and collections of bio-material.
We are looking at (2) perspectives
- experts who used to work at commercial bio-banks / commercial bio-material collections businesses
- those who procure and use bio-material samples for pre-clinical research at some of the big pharma/biotech companies
the client would like to better understand the commercial bio-bank business and bio-material sourcing, what to look for in sourcing bio-materials, who the sources are, and how to assess quality.
This would be for a 30-min paid phone consultation.
To show your relevance in this space, please answer with a few brief statements the question below.
*for the commercial bio-bank side
- have you been directly responsible for the sale of bio-materials to pharmaceutical/biotech companies?
*on the pharma side
- have you been directly responsible for the sourcing of bio-materials from commercial suppliers for pre-clinical research?
**please note that we are only interested in your personal point of view and are not seeking confidential information.

+31 Other ResponsesPhotoresist Materials
We're looking to develop a material that we can use as a soluble support material in the fused deposition process in 3d printing.
One of the routes that surfaced is centered on the use of the same techniques used in photoresists to produce a soluble resin. There seems to be a lot work with photosensitive agents in styrene copolymers
theses positive photoresists use uv activation and an alkali solvent.
As the sensitising agents are already combined with polystyrenes i reasoned that they could also be used in higher mw styrenes that could be used in our fused deposition process. I propose we could then use a uv light bath and dissolve the activated resist in alkali solvent.
My question is, is it possible to create photo-sensitized higher mw polystyrenes? If so, we will need someone to guide us through the process in creating that ip.

presenter's note:
the coatings industry continues to evolve. To the outsider, much might look the same as it did just a decade or two ago. To the insider, industry restructuring and globalization have changed its footprint, regulations have impacted formulations, product stewardship is adding new business challenges, and technology has evolved such that products are actually different in some meaningful ways from the clean air act became law in the united states over 40 years ago. This look at how things have changed but also at how some things have remained the same, provides one observer's view of the paints and coatings industry, key participants, and the drivers that continue to shape the industry and inspire continued innovation.
About david a. Hurwitz:
david has worked for over twenty years in chemical industry consulting. Addressing specialty chemicals, polymers, advanced materials, fine chemical and many downstream industries. He received a b.S. Degree in chemical engineering from cornell university, an m.S. Degree in chemical engineering from washington university in st. Louis, and an m.B.A. From the university of chicago.
