Discover how R&D communities shape technology, not just firms or markets.
This study uses polypropylene and EPDM rubber to explore how researchers across organizations collaborate, publish, and compete to bring new chemical technologies to life.

By comparing two chemical technologies, it highlights why certain breakthroughs accelerate while others remain incremental.- How scientific communities form and share knowledge across companies and disciplines
- How catalyst choices and process ideas affect manufacturing and cost
- Why publication and patenting coexist and what that means for innovation
- How industry internalization changes collaboration and openness over time
