Details

This report produced by the Informatics team provides a review of patent data relating to advanced materials covering forms of carbon, metamaterials, wearable technology and renewable energy enabling materials.

The search strategy file provides outline details of the search performed in the worldwide patent databases. The resulting patents were then extracted and used to perform the analysis contained in the main report. The CSV file provides a list of the raw publication numbers of the patents analysed in the main report and has been provided to allow researchers to undertake further analysis if they wish.
