Composite and Polyurethane Sectors Maintain Innovation Momentum

Dear Putech&Composites Readers,

In today's world where Marshall's Global Village concept has become a reality, producing knowledge and technology is an absolute necessity. For this reason, the motto "Innovation is Essential" is gaining importance with each passing day and shaping our era. Innovation and R&D activities are accelerating across many sectors; numerous studies are being conducted in this field. Recently, the R&D Project Marketplace Awards organized by İKMİB enabled the implementation of valuable innovative work. Among the projects deemed worthy of awards are studies related to polyurethane and composites. The implementation of these projects is exciting for the polyurethane and composites sector. In this issue, we have prepared content that we believe you will enjoy reading. As in every issue, we have included research articles by distinguished academics. In the article titled "Aerodynamic Effects of Wheel Cap Usage in Electric Vehicles" authored by Dr. Aytaç Gören and colleagues, you will find important information. Additionally, I believe you will enjoy reading the article titled "Polyurethane-Based Wound Dressing Materials" prepared by Prof. Dr. Burhan Ateş and colleagues. In this issue, we conducted an enjoyable interview with Ekin Tükek, Member of the Board of Directors of Flokser Kimya. Tükek shared details with us about R&D studies they are conducting as part of their support for education. Happy reading… Prepared by: Nükhet Sezer
