Nanotechnology: Fundamental Principles and Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Industrial Chemistry and Biotechnology

Abstract

Research in nanotechnology has seen an explosive growth during the past decade, fueled by significant investment in research and development and the appearance of a cornucopia of consumer-based products. As of August 2009, an inventory conducted by the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies has identified over 1,000 nanotechnology consumer products [1]. Based on current growth rates, it is estimated that nano-related goods could be in the range of $1–2.5 trillion market by 2015 globally.
