The Nanomarket Has Been Just That: When Will The Market Take Off and What Are The Growth Prospects

摘要

The nanocomposites concept has seemingly struggled to attain commercial market acceptance. Now entering its second decade of discovery research and product development, perhaps expectations were too much in too short a period of time. The understanding, refinement, and development of different nanoparticle types has continued, and are expected to result in a host of different nanocomposite product profiles. Market penetration can be anticipated application by application, but competitive technologies are also being developed and will impact overall market demand.
