Composite materials are made of two or more materials with distinct physical and chemical properties, which when combined form a material that has characteristic properties different from the individual materials. GFRP composites are fiber-reinforced polymers that are made of plastic and reinforced with glass fibers (GFs) in a continuous stranded manner. The plastic used for producing GFRP composites may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset plastic (mostly epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester).

In this market research report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global automotive paints and coatings market for 2017-2021. The report also presents the vendor landscape and corresponding detailed profiles of the five key vendors operating in the market. The base year is taken to be 2016 for the whole report and forecasts are made with respect to the base year.

Windows in aircraft passenger cabins are smaller in size to maximize the areas of the hull between them and to increase the mechanical strength of the airframe. From a technical point of view, an aircraft fuselage would be much stronger if it could completely remove cut-outs for windows and windshields. In the 1970s, there were incidents in several De Havilland Comets (UK-built commercial jet aircraft), where large windows caused issues with integrating the windows to the aircraft. Furthermore, commercial jet airliners are pressurized, which creates a strain on the hull. There are also chances of metal fatigue in the areas between windows which, in extreme cases, can lead to failure of the metal. Due to this, cargo aircraft fuselage designs are mostly windowless.

The global antibacterial glass market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 6.75% during 2016-2020. This growth is attributed to the increase in the application of antibacterial glass in various end-user industries, such as hospital, food and beverage, military equipment, household, construction, and electronics.The global antibacterial glass market using silver as a material type had the largest market share in 2015, accounting for 90.76% of the overall market, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.87% during the forecast period. It is the fastest growing antibacterial glass market by material type. The dominance of silver type antibacterial glass is mainly due to its exceptional antibacterial properties, which have applications in various end-user segments. Among the various end-users of antibacterial glass, hospitals accounted for 42.33% of the global market share in 2015. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.04%, which is the fastest among all the end-user segments. The essentiality of sterile and hygienic conditions in the hospital premises has resulted in the high market share of this segment.  In the global antibacterial glass market by geography, Europe had the leading market share of 48.41% in 2015. This region will also have the highest CAGR of 7.09% during the forecast period. The main reason for Europe's dominance is the high awareness of European consumers regarding health and the presence of many key vendors of antibacterial glass in Europe.

Advanced ceramics are mainly produced by controlled crystallization of certain chemicals, generally induced by nucleating additives. They are made of nitrates, carbides, oxides, and other materials using modern processing technologies. These ceramics are hard, durable, wear resistant, corrosion resistant, and have different electrical properties. The properties of these ceramics depend on their composition and microstructure.

A vial is a small vessel made of glass or plastic, mainly used for storing a medicinal solution, drug, or powder. It is the most prevalent healthcare packaging solution. Since packaging of medicines is a complex process because of their molecular and chemical structures, they need to be packed in protective and durable materials to prevent contamination. The evolution of new diseases and increased health awareness have brought a transformation in the vial packaging market. Companies are making use of high-tech glasses and green plastics to keep medicines safe and are prioritizing environmentally-friendly products.
