Nanotechnology: Business Applications and Commercialization

By Sherron Sparks

No longer the hidden genius of scientists, nanotechnology is now appearing in products manufactured for everyday life. Focusing on the transition of new nanomaterial technology to the commercial market, this book presents a nanotech commercialization framework that will enable partnership development between research universities, businesses, and investors. The author argues that it is imperative to direct commercial nano development into legitimate business channels and to nurture development in a standardized environment. The text aims to eliminate the commercialization gap between business and technology, providing a structure for industry growth and highlighting new business opportunities for technology applications.
