Dr. Newport is a polymer chemist and surface‑science specialist with over five decades of industrial R&D, product development, and large‑scale manufacturing experience. My work spans polymers, emulsions, coatings, adhesion, rheology, diffusion, fibers, films, paper chemistry, and surface modification — from benchtop innovation to full commercial scale‑up.
I help companies solve complex technical problems, accelerate product development, and troubleshoot manufacturing challenges. I also support IP strategy, prior‑art searches, and expert‑witness engagements.
As a Top Solver on InnoCentive, HeroX, and IdeaConnection, I’ve won challenges across materials, energy, coatings, food systems, drug delivery, and more — demonstrating broad, cross‑disciplinary problem‑solving ability.
