An example of Full Research in the development of clay-based-film is introduced. Clay is eco-friendly, and it exists abundantly in Japan. Clay-based-films can be used as heat resistant gas barrier materials that in turn contribute to the realization of a sustainable industry. Details of the technical development, public information, intellectual property, and technology transfer occurring during the process from the initial invention to practical application are discussed. At the same time, the interactions of people and research groups related to the development process are analyzed. In addition, the effectiveness of a consortium is discussed in the context of an innovation model based on development integration.
