CAS and Westlake University collaborate on ‘Trailblazing the Future with Emerging Biomaterials’ report

This June, CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, together with Westlake University, released the research report “Trailblazing the Future with Emerging Biomaterials.” The report was developed as a service to the global scientific information community. Its intent is to provide data-informed analysis for those who may be interested in biomedical materials, including business leaders, investors, and policymakers. With the recent growth in published science, the volume and complexity of scientific information is escalating. This report addresses that complexity in the area of biomaterials. The foundational data in the report leverage the CAS Content Collection, which covers more than 50,000 scientific journals in over 50 languages, 279 million substances, and key invention details from applications published by 109 global patent authorities. Using advanced data tools and big data analytics, the report uncovers emerging trends and comprehensive landscape views of biomaterials research. This approach provides the latest discoveries, advancements, and
