Nanotechnology in a Modern Economy

Abstract

Actual nanotechnology products are examined, both the upstream nanocomponents and the downstream consumer products. Current annual production is evaluated, both in terms of monetary value and tonnage. Company activity is assessed in terms of the numbers of patents assigned. Some problems with compiling statistics of nanotechnology output are considered. Future projections of market size are assessed.

Keywords

Incremental products; Consumer products; Nano-object production; Carbon nanomaterials; Fullerenes; Carbon nanotubes; Graphene; Noncarbon nanomaterials; Nanotechnology statistics; Market predictions; Company activity
