Commercial Prospects for Nanomaterials in India

Abstract

The area of nanoscience and technology is growing rapidly around the world and nanomaterials based products, especially in the consumer sector, are coming into market very rapidly. India is competing, with great difficulty, with other developed countries to make its position strong in this field. In other respect, several challenges have to be overcome in terms of production of nanomaterials at commercial scale, their processing, applications and commercialization. The present article describes the present state of nanomaterials based technology development, commercialization and future prospects for this technology in our country.
