Medical electronics is a branch of electronics that deals with design, implementation and use of electrical devices and equipment for medical purposes such as research, examination, diagnosis, treatment, assistance and care. Medical electronics utilizes field disciplines of both electronics and biomedical.Portable biomedical electronic devices are essential to movemedical products from the hospital atmosphere to home, and to move medical examination from the laboratoryand offer one-touch access to users. These devices offer secure access and enable both patients and doctors to stay in touch with each other remotely.

A mobile application or app is a computer programme designed to run on smartphones, tablet computers and other mobile gadgets. Mobile apps were originally designed for general information retrieval such as emails, contacts, calendars, and stock market and productivity. Rising popularity of mobile apps enhanced its adoption into other categories, such as mobile gaming, social networking, e-book reading and entertainment, lifestyle, GPS (Global Positioning System) and location based navigation services, factory automation, banking, order-tracking and mobile medical apps. In addition, mobile apps help end-users to search for information and download data by connecting to the internet. Mobile app providers need to consider the constraints and features before developing apps that can run on mobiles because smartphones and tablets run on battery and have less powerful processors as compared to personal computers.

Composites contain high-performance fibers such as carbon or glass, and a matrix material. When used in vehicles, composite materials make them lighter, safer, and fuel efficient. Increasing demand for fuel efficient cars has been propelling the automotive composites market. Volatile crude oil prices and rising petroleum based fuel prices are boosting the growth of fuel efficient vehicles. Composites weigh about one-fifth of steel, however they are better than steel in terms of strength. Unlike steel and aluminum, composites do not rust or corrode. Additionally, composites significantly increase the fuel economy of the vehicle by reducing its overall weight by approximately 60%. The strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratio of the vehicle increases with the use of composite materials. The vehicle also achieves a high energy-absorbing capability per unit mass by using composite materials.

Dimer acids or dimerized fatty acids are light yellow, transparent, viscous dicarboxylic acids that find application in the synthesis of polyamide resins and hot melt adhesives. They are also used in synthetic lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, alkyd resins, adhesives, surfactants, and fuel oil additives. Dimer acids are produced by dimerizing unsaturated fatty acids obtained from oleic acid, tall oil, canola oil, or cottonseed oil on clay catalysts. Dimer acids are also non-toxic in nature.

Isostearic acid is a liquid fatty acid produced by the reaction of oleic acid with a natural mineral catalyst. The production of isostearic acid is completely based on the parent oil or fat. Due to its high thermal, odor, and oxidation stability, isostearic acid finds its application across several industries such as lubricants, personal care, chemical esters, textiles, and packaging. The branched structure of isostearic acid elevates its dispersing power due to which it is used in industrial and cosmetic applications for the stabilization of pigments and mineral particles in oils and solvents. The growing end-user industries are the key drivers for global isostearic acid market.

Liquid Applied Membrane (LAM) is a low viscosity waterproofing membrane which is applied as a liquid coating to horizontal and vertical surfaces. LAM is also considered as a next generation waterproofing chemical and its monolithic, seamless property, and the capability to conform to every configuration is causing its demand to escalate in the global construction industry. Usage of bad quality construction material in the past, followed by poor maintenance of the building structure is creating a strong market for repair and rehabilitation, which can be resolved by liquid applied membranes. About 40-45% of the demand for liquid applied membrane comes from repair and restoration projects. Liquid applied membranes are also efficient in reducing cracks in the concrete, thus driving its demand across the globe.

Redispersible Polymer Powder is a free-flowing organic polymer powder, produced through the spray drying of a wide range of monomers such as vinyl acetate, vinyl versatate, ethylene, acrylate, and styrene butadiene. Redispersible Polymer Powder is produced in two stages. In the first stage, water-based emulsion polymerization technology is used to convert various monomers to liquid dispersion. In the second step, water-based dispersion is used after some modification to produce free-flowing redispersible polymer powder through spray drying technology. Redispersible polymer powder improves the plasticity adhesion of tile cement, gypsum plaster, and self-leveling compounds. Redispersible polymer powders are used mainly in diverse construction chemical applications such as external thermal insulation composite systems, construction and tile adhesives, screeds, self-leveling flooring compounds, plasters, repair mortars, grouts, and cementitious sealing slurries. Demand for redispersible polymer is continuously increasing due to its benefits in the construction industry such as better water retention and workability, strong strength development of the mortar, higher flexural strength and flexibility, and strong impact and abrasion resistance.

There are several types of alginates available in the global market including sodium, calcium, and potassium out of which sodium alginates hold the highest share of the market. Sodium alginate is a type of natural polysaccharide which is extracted from the brown seaweed that grows in cold water regions. Sodium alginate market is expanding mainly on account of the increasing size of food industry. Sodium alginate is soluble in cold and hot water, and possesses thickening and binding properties. Sodium alginate forms a gel without being heated in the presence of calcium. Sodium alginate is generally used along with calcium salts in several cuisines to produce small and large spheres filled with liquid that burst in the mouth. Sodium Alginate is also used in the food industry as an emulsifier to increase viscosity. It is also used in indigestion tablets as it does not have any discernible flavor.

Fuel cells convert electrical energy sourced from chemical energy, through an electromechanical reaction with oxygen or other oxidizing agents. Primarily, a fuel cell functions as a battery, but is different in the way that in a fuel cell, fuel is supplied from an external source and fuel is converted to electricity without any involvement of a burning process. The demand for alternative energy sources is growing at a global level, which in turn propels the development of associated products. The first commercial application of fuel cells happened with NASA's space programs. Fuel cells were used for application in probes, satellites and space capsules. Generally, fuel cells utilize oxygen and hydrogen during the electrochemical reaction process and generate electricity, heat and water. These cells are used where continuous flow of electricity is required. The cells provide continuous flow of electricity as long as source fuel is supplied. As fuel cells are carbon-free due to their non-burning nature, environmental norms support the development of this market.

A gas leak detector is a piece of equipment or a device that senses and detects the existence of gases in a particular area. These devices are used as a part of safety systems installed in factories, homes and commercial complexes. A gas leak detector system detects the gas leaked and generates a signal to take proper action. Industrially, gas detector systems are fitted with a sound alarm to evacuate the area in case of toxic gas leakage. The popularity of such devices is growing due to the influx of new chemical facilities across the world. Further, the growing gas storage facility network across the globe has deployed a significant number of gas leak detectors for safety systems.
