TechConnect Ventures
Sprint Challenge Brief:
Emerging Insulation Materials for Cold Storage and Transportation
Sprint Submissions Closed
Background
In support of several packaging companies, TechConnect Ventures is seeking responses describing materials which exhibit superior insulative properties towards cold temperatures. Cold thermal insulation materials are relevant for a wide array of transportation needs for durable goods including food, pharmacological substances, and transplant. Insulation, commonly in the form of a foamed solid such as polystyrene, reduces heat transfer from the colder item to the warmer environment. The clients seek new and innovative materials with low thermal conductivity that are suitable for usage in packaging applications.
The goal of this sprint is to facilitate contact and interactions between the Sprint sponsor and active researchers or technology developers in this space. Submissions and novel concepts from individuals and organizations in academia and research are of significant interest, but all viable technology providers are invited to respond for potential commercial opportunities with the client.
Areas of Interest
Our clients are interested in all insulative materials. Relevant areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
