Of course, RG offers a fantastic platform to discuss such proposals.
Can you be more specific on the application of the polymer nanocomposites? What do you propose to offer towards the proposal (e.g., polymer/nanocomposite synthesis, characterisation, relationship with an industrial company for feasibility study, funding, students, etc.).
thanks for the update. I will contribute to polymer/nanocomposite synthesis and characterization, functionalization of nanomaterials, adhesives and coatings. Funding we have to raise joint proposals.
"Does Research gate facilitate collaborative proposals.?"
I will answer that RG web site it's a powerful tool which allows the changes between researchers (information, ideas, papers, etc.), while could be very helpfully to have more skills in the field of expertise or to obtain primary information about a new subject of interest.
I strongly believe that in the first step RG web site is facilitating the changes between researchers, here in the objective to propose new collaborative projects (NB: as an example, please look to my RG page to have first information about our R&D subjects in the field of polymer nanocomposites). However, when is more confidential information, there is the possibility to contact directly via RG the potential collaborators!
Good luck in the finding the best partners function of your R&D interests,
Marius
PS: Because we are active in the field of polymer nanocomposites, I will also recommend to visit the web sites of our laboratory and Materia Nova R&D Centre (Mons, Belgium)!
