Abstract
The process of technological innovation embraces a sequence of activities that translates technical and scientific knowledge into physical reality to be used on a scale having substantial societal impact. This goes beyond invention to accumulation of technical data, expansion of necessary knowledge, transformation into product and its diffusion and adaptation for significant impact. Hydrotalcite like materials or double layered hydroxides in general have been a playground for discovery, have shown a history of innovation, and have the potential for an even greater surge in innovation in the future that can drive an enormous expansion in technology entrepreneurship. The versatility for use in energy materials, composites, bioactives, electrochemicals, environmentals, anticorrosives, catalysts, drugs, coatings, and yet to be discovered uses are enormous. The pathways and barriers to new innovations and entrepreneurial activities are discussed in this overview in context of their science and technology.
