Abstract

Nanotechnology is assumed to have great potential in the future market. The most important feature of nanotechnology is its novelty on the path to commercialization. Inventions often attract attention in industrial and scientific communities because of their ingenuity, but a product must also be useful and practical. This chapter aims to review commercialization consideration of nanotechnology. This chapter also looks at the purpose and process of commercialization of nanotechnology for various applications.
