Abstract

Over the past 150 years, our ability to produce and transform engineered materials has been responsible for our current high standards of living, especially in developed economies. However, we must carefully think of the effects our addiction to creating and using materials at this fast rate will have on the future generations. The way we currently make and use materials detrimentally affects the planet Earth, creating many severe environmental problems. It affects the next generations by putting in danger the future of the economy, energy, and climate. We are at the point where something must drastically change, and it must change now. We must create more sustainable materials alternatives using natural raw materials and inspiration from nature while making sure not to deplete important resources, i.e. in competition with the food chain supply. We must use less materials, eliminate the use of toxic materials and create a circular materials economy where reuse and recycle are priorities. We must develop sustainable methods for materials recycling and encourage design for disassembly. We must look across the whole materials life cycle from raw resources till end of life and apply thorough life cycle assessments (LCAs) based on reliable and relevant data to quantify sustainability. We need to seriously start thinking of where our future materials will come from and how could we track them, given that we are confronted with resource scarcity and geographical constrains. This is particularly important for the development of new and sustainable energy technologies, key to our transition to net zero. Currently 'critical materials' are central components of sustainable energy systems because they are the best performing. A few examples include the permanent magnets based on rare earth metals (Dy, Nd, Pr) used in wind turbines, Li and Co in Li-ion batteries, Pt and Ir in fuel cells and electrolysers, Si in solar cells just to mention a few.

A few examples include the permanent magnets based on rare earth metals (Dy, Nd, Pr) used in wind turbines, Li and Co in Li-ion batteries, Pt and Ir in fuel cells and electrolysers, Si in solar cells just to mention a few. These materials are classified as ‘critical’ by the European Union and Department of Energy. Except in sustainable energy, materials are also key components in packaging, construction, and textile industry along with many other industrial sectors. This roadmap authored by prominent researchers working across disciplines in the very important field of sustainable materials is intended to highlight the outstanding issues that must be addressed and provide an insight into the pathways towards solving them adopted by the sustainable materials community. In compiling this roadmap, we hope to aid the development of the wider sustainable materials research community, providing a guide for academia, industry, government, and funding agencies in this critically important and rapidly developing research space which is key to future sustainability., The authors would like to thank The Faraday Institution ReLiB Project Grant Numbers FIRG005 and FIRG006, the UKRI Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Centre for Technology Metals (Met4Tech) Grant No. EP/V011855/1 and the EPSRC Critical Elements and Materials Network (CREAM) EP/R020140/1 for providing financial assistance for this research.

Abstract

Pregnancy confers partner-specific protection against complications in future pregnancy that parallel persistence of fetal microchimeric cells (FMcs) in mothers after parturition. We show that preexisting FMcs become displaced by new FMcs during pregnancy and that FMc tonic stimulation is essential for expansion of protective fetal-specific forkhead box P3 (FOXP3)-positive regulatory T cells (T reg cells). Maternal microchimeric cells and accumulation of T reg cells with noninherited maternal antigen (NIMA) specificity are similarly overturned in daughters after pregnancy, highlighting a fixed microchimeric cell niche. Whereas NIMA-specific tolerance is functionally erased by pregnancy, partner-specific resiliency against pregnancy complications persists in mothers despite paternity changes in intervening pregnancy. Persistent fetal tolerance reflects FOXP3 expression plasticity, which allows mothers to more durably remember their babies, whereas daughters forget their mothers with new pregnancy-imprinted immunological memories.

Mixed methods research
Abstract

Mixed methods research (MMR), sometimes called multimethodology is an approach to a research problem that leverages the advantages of both qualitative and quantitative research methods to better understand the subject than any individual approach could offer on its own. It recognizes that qualitative and quantitative data can each contribute to different aspects of understanding of a problem, and it integrates both approaches within a holistic methodological approach.

Technological innovations
Abstract

Innovation is the process of developing and bringing to market new products, services, ideas, or solutions to problems. This is in contrast to invention, which is the development of new devices, methods, or techniques. Inventions are not necessarily innovations. For an invention to be an innovation, it must be introduced into the marketplace and become generally accepted.

Open innovation
Abstract

The traditional model of innovation holds that innovation, research, and development are activities that take place within a company. The knowledge that is leveraged to develop new innovations comes from the employees who work at the company, and the firm then seeks to capitalize on the innovative developments by protecting that innovation. This is contrasted with open innovation, which leverages knowledge both internal and external to the company. Open innovation acknowledges that the firm may not always be the only vehicle for bringing innovations to market. Licensing, collaboration, and joint ventures (JVs) or even spin-off companies are all valid and potentially more appropriates way to utilize knowledge than having it remain in-house.

Abstract

The five forces analysis tool was developed by Harvard professor Michael Porter. The tool is commonly applied in the development of business strategy and is used as a method for understanding interfirm competition in various sectors. Porter was dissatisfied at other strategic analysis tools such as SWOT and PEST analyses and so developed the field of strategic theory by introducing this tool. The tool explains how three external and two internal forces combine to shape the intensity of competition, and hence attractiveness of any given market. It tends to be used in application, as a preliminary qualitative assessment of the firm’s strategic positioning with a view to using more developed tools at later stages of analyses.
