Abstract

This perspective paper presents a focused review of a selected topic of chemical-based products, namely, formulations. As formulations cover a wide range of chemical-based products, we highlight opportunities for innovation in three types of formulations — liquid blends, which are mixtures of chemicals that are in the liquid state at standard conditions; liquid formulations, which are mixtures of chemicals that may exist in different states but the final product is a single-phase liquid; and emulsions, which are also mixtures of chemicals that may exist in different states, but the final product is in the form of an emulsion. In each case, we discuss aspects of design, analysis, and innovation together with issues and challenges that could be tackled to find better and more sustainable products. In particular, the potential of hybrid artificial intelligence augmented computer-aided techniques that can aid in the design, analysis, and innovation of formulations is highlighted.

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering is devoted to bringing forth short and focused review articles written by experts on current advances in different areas of chemical engineering. Only invited review articles will be published. The goals of each review article in Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering are: 1. To acquaint the reader/researcher with the most important recent papers in the given topic. 2. To provide the reader with the views/opinions of the expert in each topic. The reviews are short (about 2500 words or 5-10 printed pages with figures) and serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, teachers, professionals and students. The reviews also aim to stimulate exchange of ideas among experts. Themed sections: Each review will focus on particular aspects of one of the following themed sections of chemical engineering: 1. Nanotechnology 2. Energy and environmental engineering 3. Biotechnology and bioprocess engineering 4. Biological engineering (covering tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug delivery) 5. Separation engineering (covering membrane technologies, adsorbents, desalination, distillation etc.) 6. Materials engineering (covering biomaterials, inorganic especially ceramic materials, nanostructured materials). 7. Process systems engineering 8. Reaction engineering and catalysis.
