Whinfield and W. Dickson, working at the Calico Printers Association (2,3). Other polymers pioneered by these workers included poly(l,3-propylene terephthalate), 3GT, poly(l,4-butylene terephthalate), 4GT, and the polyester from ethylene glycol and l,2-6is(4-carbox5 henoxy)ethane, known as CPE-2G or Fiber-0 (4). Of these materials, PET was selected for development as a melt-spinnable synthetic fiber, but commercialization was impossible until after the end of World War II. Eventually, when the various national economies were back on a peacetime footing, PET polymer and fibers derived from it were put into production. The whole market-driving force for polyester at this time was in the form of synthetic fibers. In the United Kingdom, the new material was manufactured by Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd. imder the trade name Terylene, while DuPont introduced it to the United States in 1953 as Dacron (see Polyesters, Fibers). 

Presentiy, multilayer capacitors and packaging make up more than half the electronic ceramics market. For multilayer capacitors, more than 20 biUion units are manufactured a year, outnumbering by far any other electronic ceramic component. Multilayer ceramics and hybrid packages consist of alternating layers of dielectric and metal electrodes, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, respectively. The driving force for these compact configurations is miniaturization. 

Product development models are the driving force for delivering the product to market on time and at the right cost. In general, the models in the literature can be divided into just two types sequential and concurrent. Each has its own characteristics, but there are several requirements that a new product development model should fulfil (Sum, 1992) ... 

Classical gels had a low degree of cross-linkage and were of a large particle size. This resulted in that modest flow rates could only be applied and the separation time was typically 10 hr, which at that time was perfectly acceptable, keeping in mind that preparation of the column could take up to 2 days or more. After the introduction of Sephadex, new materials have been introduced continuously on the market, and still, 30 years after the introduction of the first commercial material, new media are still introduced, also from the originators of Sephadex. What are the driving forces behind this development and what are the features of these new media ... 

The evolution of FDA policies continues to be a significant driving force on the global pharmaceutical market. Several pharmaceutical firms have made new discoveries while evaluating enantiopure drugs originally discovered and marketed as race-mates by others. These pharmaceutical firms have merged, or other companies have appropriated portfolios of patents based on chiral switches. Thus, the FDA contin-... 

The fourth criterion asks to transparency. This is reasonable, since all documentation on the basis of the assessment of the properties of a chemical should be clearly available and checkable. One of the driving forces of REACH was to have the correct knowledge on the properties of the chemical substances on the market. If some of the information is hidden, this clearly goes against the spirit of REACH.
