Commercializing Nanotechnology: A Roadmap to Taking Nanoproducts from Laboratory to Market provides a step-by-step roadmap for taking the results of laboratory research on nanotechnology and nanomaterials and developing them into successful and profitable commercial ventures. It details the methodology, techniques, and pathways for technology-readiness assessment, testing protocols, and commercialization, and it discusses manufacturing techniques, including their limitations and challenges.

  • Provides methodology, techniques, and pathways for technology-readiness assessment, testing protocols, and commercialization
  • Offers general direction and assistance to researchers
  • Describes manufacturing techniques, including their limitations and challenges
  • Discusses intellectual property protection
  • Provides details on market opportunities

This book is aimed at scientists and engineers, including chemists, physicists, economists, medical practitioners, managers, marketers, traders, investors, and entrepreneurs in the fields of nanoscience, nanomedicine, nanoengineering, and nanomanufacturing.
