Nanomaterials market

Nanomaterials (also called nanoparticles or nanopowders) are increasingly becoming part of our daily lives. Their novel properties, that are not apparent in larger forms of the same material, has led to their desirability and exploitation in a wide range of applications. Nanomaterials can be defined as substances that are intentionally produced, manufactured or engineered to have specific properties and one or more dimensions typically between 1 and 100 nanometres. Most nanomaterials are produced in multi-ton volumes in varying sizes, shapes, and also in surface coatings.

Nanomaterials cover a range of materials inorganic metal and metal oxide nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials and polymeric particulate materials in a variety of forms. They can be broadly separated into three categories:

  • zero-dimensions (quantum dots)
  • one-dimension (carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles)
  • two-dimensions (thin-films and graphene)

Production methods are typically:

  • biological (microorganism production of nanoparticles)
  • chemical (synthesis of nanoparticles and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of thin-films and carbon nanotubes)
  • physical (physical vapour deposition (PVD) production of thin-films and nanoparticles) methods.

Markets nanomaterials are currently impacting include healthcare, sporting goods, cosmetics and personal care, automotive, food and beverage, home and garden, coatings in numerous sectors, consumer electronics and computing. Paints and coatings cross-apply to numerous consumer markets from aerospace and automotive to construction and hygiene. They offer a range of functionalities that are desirable in a number of sectors such as anti-bacterialism, anti-corrosion, easy-clean, thermal barrier, protective and UV-absorbent and combinations thereof.
