Bayer MaterialScience's new Greenhouse concept.

With its new "Greenhouse" concept, Bayer MaterialScience AG has developed a platform designed to translate promising new ideas into marketable products and applications that until now have not formed part of the company's core businesses. The "Greenhouse" provides a suitable business environment for the targeted, flexible and rapid development of projects. If a project is assessed as viable, a business plan is drawn up and preparations are made for market launch.

One special area of focus for the company is carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which Bayer MaterialScience plans to market worldwide under the trade name Baytubes. The nanoscale particles are ideal for many applications across many idustries including coatings. More info: Bayer MaterialScience, (49) 214 30-72362; E-mail: [e-mail]; Web: www.bayerbms.com.
