Summary

Nanotechnology continues to be a thriving area of R&D in 2008. Public funding of nanotechnology worldwide in 2008 was approximately $6.7 with over US$5 billion initially committed by the Russian government and a raft of new initiatives and centres in countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Cuba and Brazil.

Nanotechnology is fast becoming an important business area for companies in a diverse range of industries, from oil exploration to optical cabling. Private investment in 2008 was approximately $5.6 billion, with the electronics and medical sectors set to witness the greatest returns over the next 5 years. The global market for nanotechnology presents a comprehensive insight into worldwide activity and initiatives from basic research to final products. This 780 page report is the definitive guide to whats happening in nanotechnology, now and in the future. Contents include:

Global public and private funding and initiatives
Current and future market trends and drivers
The global market for nanoparticles, nanopowders, nanocoatings, nanocomposites, nanocapsules, nanotubes, nanofibres, nanowires, fullerenes and quantum dots
