Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death across the globe. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test which records the electrical activity of the heart on the graph paper. ECG device detects and select electrical impulses generated by the polarization and depolarization of cardiac tissue and translate them into waveform. The ECG has 12-lead, out of which six electrodes are on the chest and one on each limb. ECG device helps cardiologists and physicians to diagnose cardiac abnormalities such as congenital heart defect, abnormal heart rhythm, poor blood supply to heart arteries, inflammation of the heart and enlargement of the heart. ECG is the first test done to check a person suffering from heart disease.

Green tea is one of the fastest growing segments of global tea industry. It is prepared from the leaves from camellia sinensis that have undergone minimal oxidation during processes. Generally, people take green tea due to its health benefit purpose. The concept of green tea was originated from China and later spread all over the world. Some of the popular Japanese green teas are sencha, gyokuro, kabusecha, matcha, tencha, genmaicha and hojicha.

Disposable medical products are an essential component of every medical, dental, and veterinary practice. Demand for disposable medical supplies is increasing as hospitals and outpatient facilities are adopting strict infection prevention safety measures to meet strict standards. Some of the disposable medical supplies are blood glucose test strips, procedure kits and trays, conventional syringes with needles, facemasks, prefilled syringes, isolation gowns, disposable medical catheters, adult incontinence products, wound care products, surgical drapes, medical gloves, disposable contact lenses and lancing devices. Medical disposables are design to reduce the discomfort and distress of the patient. Disposable medical supplies are the largest segment within the global healthcare equipment and supplies sector. Drug delivery devices are the largest group of disposable medical supplies.

Precious metals are naturally occurring rare metallic elements having significant economic value. They have high luster, usually ductile which tend to be less reactive than most elements. Precious metals are primarily regarded as investments and industrial commodities. Platinum group metals and gold are some of the most prominent precious metals present in the industry. While the coinage metals, silver and gold are consumed in industrial applications, they are better known for their use in jewellery and art. Other precious metals include the platinum group metals: iridium, osmium, rhodium, ruthenium, palladium and platinum.

Polyphthalamide (PPA), also known as a high performance polyamide, synthetic resin of nylon is widely used in high temperature electrical connectors, replacing metals in various high temperature automotive applications. Polyphthalamides are basically polyamides which contain aromatic rings in them providing high thermal resistance and mechanical strength. The term PPA is considered when approximately 60% of the carboxylic acid moles of the repeating unit in polymer comprise of a combination of isophthalic (IPA) and terephthalic acids (TPA). Polyphthalamide is usually formed by the reaction of aromatic acids with aliphatic diamines. It is a semi crystalline material which is composed from a diamine and diacid, being a member of the nylon family. Polyphthalamide exhibits high dimensional stability, high tensile strength, corrosion/abrasion resistance, high chemical resistance, high heat resistance, as well as direct bonding to many elastomers for developing plastic rubber composites.

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) which acts as a building block for nanocomposites owing to their nano size, high symmetry, and three dimensional figure. POSS, unlike other nanoparticles are easily dispersed in a wide range of polymer matrices which can be done by modifying chemical structure of POSS molecule for their compatibility with the specific polymer resin. POSS compounds give better mechanical stability, electrical and optical properties with an organic matrix. They are widely used in the production of electronic products, LEDs and antimicrobial coatings.

Palladium is a lustrous silvery-white rare metal used in a diverse range of applications. The metal with other elements such as osmium, iridium, ruthenium, rhodium, and platinum are referred to as Platinum Group Metals (PGM). Palladium is majorly consumed in the automotive industry as catalytic converters, manufacturing of electronics and jewelry, as well as chemical and dental applications. Palladium is sourced from two major sources, viz., mine production and recycling.

Organic color pigments are materials which alter the color of transmitted or reflected light due to wavelength absorption. The process differs from phosphorescence, fluorescence and other types of luminescence, in which a material emits light. These pigments are used for the production of printing inks and are derived from the derivatives of coal tars, hence generally referred to as "Coal Tar Colors", as compared to inorganic color pigments which are produced from mineral sources. Unlike inorganic color pigments, organic color pigments are described chemically by their complex ring structures. On the basis of their class, organic color pigments are segmented into azo pigments, high performance pigments, and phthalocyanines among others, where azo pigments dominate the industry. However, azo pigments along with phthalocyanines are also known by their limited profit margins due to strong competition from lower priced imports, while other pigments such as high performance pigments are known for having higher profit margins. On the basis of applications, organic color pigments are widely used in plastics, textiles, coatings and printing inks among others, where printing ink leads the industry. In addition to these, organic color pigments are also used in the automotive industry. After the global economic slowdown in 2009, the global market for automotives started to rise again, which has also been a prominent factors for the growing demand for organic color pigments.
