“…The product technology is a scientific discipline that covers the area of design and engineering of the product (Voncken et al, 2004) and refers to the functionality and performance of it. It is necessary that the activities of Product Technology and Research & Development (R&D) operate under a well-structured policy so as to achieve optimal development of products and services that generate high returns…”

Purpose -The objective of this study is to provide a support tool for managers to identify future business opportunities.Design/methodology/approach -The proposed model consists of eight-steps. For the first step the authors propose two studies: trends analysis and change drivers' identification; these help to identify the most relevant trends in areas that may affect the business activities. All this information is put into a Delphi process with the help of experts in order to find the common denominator of where the future is going; afterwards, with this information, the authors can build events and scenarios for the business opportunities. Then, a diagnostic of the study area, sector or organization through the dynamic diagnostic methods is performed. Findings -Once the opportunities have been identified, a strategic analysis that allows decision making to prioritize and define the activities or projects that may be achievable in the future is done, and the result of the process is a portfolio of business opportunities projects fully defined and ready to be planned with a roadmap.Originality/value -The proposed model allows the managers to consistently organize their development processes targeted to real business opportunities.

“…11,20,35 However, although some efforts have been made to elucidate the scope of chemical product engineering and position it in the context of chemical engineering, [8][9][10][11][12]14,24 the field is broad and developing in many directions, and a consensual structure for the discipline has not been achieved yet. 35 Such a structure is essential for its full acceptance as an autonomous and dedicated branch of chemical engineering science.…”

“…These products, which include shaped and bulk solids, semisolids, liquids and gases (Table 1), have been termed structured products, [7][8][9][10][11][12]14,32 engineered products, 24 dispersed systems, 37 chemical-based consumer products 38 or formulated products (as in this article). More recently, Voncken et al 35 introduced the notion of product technology in an attempt to bring a broader designation to product engineering in the chemical engineering context.…”

Chemical product engineering: An emerging paradigm within chemical engineering

“…As a consequence, the ongoing paradigm of chemical engineering begins to shift from an emphasis on process design to one on product design. And chemical product engineering, as a well-established branch of chemical engineering, according to the demand requires switching product design from empirical work to scientific research. − This new, broader engineering is evolutionary rather than revolutionary. − It will reemphasize the research on molecular structure–property relationships in the chemistry field including organic, inorganic, and biochemistry. Chemical engineers should do some contribution to bridge the gap between chemistry and chemical product engineering …”

This paper first achieved a triplet "backbone molecular structure−Ca 2+ responsivity−synthesis methodology" multiscale study in the field of chemistry through preparing a series of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) based pH-responsive brush copolymers (i.e., poly(methyl methacrylate (MMA)-co-2-(2-bromoisobutyryloxy)ethyl methacrylate (BIEM)-graf t-acrylic acid (AA)) with three backbone composition profiles (random, gradient, and block) and investigating the effect of backbone composition profile on their Ca 2+ responsivity. And then, a chemical product engineering perspective was introduced to develop these PAA-based pH-responsive brush copolymers into new chemical products which may be used in water softening. The preceding triplet backbone molecular structure−Ca 2+ responsivity−synthesis methodology multiscale study was closely related to the completing of chemical product pyramid in chemical product engineering field. The whole study can be seen as a case study of manufacturing a useful product with desired function from individual molecules based on a chemical polymerization method and chemical product engineering perspective. It connects the microscopic and macroscopic world and bridges the gap between chemistry and chemical product engineering.
