5. What experimental methods do you use for lead generation?

6. What is your assessment of the potential of combinatorial approaches to generate and optimize leads within the materials industry?
huge potential
some potential
can't be applied effectively to materials

Please explain:

7. Are there particular materials/applications that you feel are better suited to combinatorial approaches?

8. Are you using computational chemistry approaches?
Yes No

9. Have you used combinatorial approaches for lead generation or optimization?
Yes No

10. If so, can this approach be linked with molecular modeling to guide the development process?

Financial assistance. If so, what criteria? (Please specify)

Technology transfer activities. (Please specify)

Other (Please be specific)

Government should not be involved at all

16. If you are assessing combinatorial technologies, what organizational issues/concerns do you feel must be addressed?
