THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL PRODUCTION IN BIOPOLYMER INNOVATIONS IN CIVIL CONSTRUCTION
Abstract
The construction industry increasingly recognizes the importance of sustainable materials to minimize their negative environmental impact. Biopolymers, derived from renewable sources, are emerging as a leading alternative. This innovation has been extensively explored through scientific research and published patents, often resulting from cooperation that enables the exchange of resources and knowledge. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between scientific and technological production on the innovations related to the application of biopolymers in civil construction. The data, which covers the period from 2010 to 2022, was obtained from the Scopus and Espacenet databases. The results were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), Pearson's Chi-square test, and Spearman's correlation. The study found that both scientific and technological production showed statistically equal growth rates. The amount of scientific literature and published patents differed based on factors such as collaborations between nations, authors, applicants, or organizations. It is worth noting that there was no correlation found between the number of scientific articles and published patents. Additionally, empirical evidence suggests that despite the large number of authors and inventors, only a small number of individuals were responsible for the vast majority of articles on the use of biopolymers in the construction industry.
