- coatings: inkjet inks (water based, solvent based and UV curable) and paints (powder coatings and alkyd coatings)

- high performance fibers

- engineering plastics

- stimuli responsive copolymers

- analytical techniques

- structure-property relationships

- biobased materials

- (bio)informatics and artificial intelligence
