从聚苯乙烯(PS)等聚合物开发聚合物膜,聚氯乙烯(PVC),以及他们的相关家庭为环境修复世界带来了巨大的动力,主要是由于其惊人的多样性和多用途的性质。在过去的半个世纪中,它们的使用量激增了20倍,并且在未来20年中可能会再次增加一倍。因此,聚合材料经济和研究的商业化变得越来越重要,作为一个国家促进繁荣的可能选择,同时减少对有限原始资源的依赖,减轻负外部性。这种转变需要一个系统的战略,这涉及到改进现有模型和建立新的合作途径之外的进展。在这项工作中,一个复杂的系统,即,产品空间模型(PSM),已经提出,明确评估英国的机会空间,意大利,波兰,印度,加拿大,印度尼西亚,巴西,沙特阿拉伯,俄罗斯和哥伦比亚对用于环境修复的聚合物膜的潜在未来工业化和商业化。结果显示,英国,意大利,波兰和印度处于有利地位,因为它们距离(距离<2)很近,而且在节俭政策中处于有利地位,这是PSM策略地图中最想要的象限,加拿大和印度尼西亚有中等水平的机会,虽然俄罗斯和沙特阿拉伯有机会和更多的挑战,以充分利用未开发的聚合物产品在环境修复膜方面,并证明有利于出口多样化,可持续经济增长,和商业化。
The development of polymeric membranes from polymers such as polystyrene (PS),
polyvinylchloride (PVC), and their associated family has brought great momentum to the environmental remediation universe, mainly due to their surprisingly diverse and multi-purpose nature. Their usage has surged 20 times in the last half-century and is likely to double again in the coming 20 years. As a result, the polymeric materials economy and commercialization of research become increasingly important as a possible option for a country to boost prosperity while decreasing its reliance on limited raw resources and mitigating negative externalities. This transformation demands a systematic strategy, which involves progress beyond improving the existing models and building new avenues for collaboration. In this work, a sophisticated system, i.e., product space model (PSM), has been presented, explicitly appraising the opportunity space for United Kingdom, Italy, Poland, India, Canada, Indonesia, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Colombia for their potential future industrialization and commercialization of polymeric membranes for environmental remediation. The results revealed that UK, Italy, Poland and India are at advantageous positions owing to their close proximity of (distance<2) and their placement in Parsimonious policy, which is the most desired quadrant of Policy Map of PSM, Canada and Indonesia have medium level opportunities, while Russia and Saudi Arabia have opportunities with more challenges to fully exploit the unexploited polymers products in terms of membranes for environmental remediation and prove favorable for export diversification, sustainable economic growth, and commercialization.
