Abstract

Research in the area of nanotechnology has seen an explosive growth during the past two decades, spurred by significant investments in basic research and leading to the development of a variety of consumer-based products. As of August 2015, an inventory conducted by the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies has identified over 1800 nanotechnology-based consumer products (http://www.nanotechproject.org/inventories/consumer; 2015). A technical report published recently estimates the global market value for nanotechnology to be $27 billion in 2015 (http://www.bccresearch.com/market-research/nanotechnology/nanotechnology-market-assessment-report-nan031f.html; 2015). A significant portion of this market share is due to nanomaterials with contributions of nearly $ 20 billion. This suggests that significant progress has been made towards commercialization of nanomaterials. In this chapter, we will explore the myriad examples of nanomaterials developed and utilized for various applications.
