Commercializing nanotechnology : from laboratory to market / by Hebab A. Quazi.

"Very few nanotechnology-based commercial products are available on the market. Millions of dollars are being invested in basic research and engineering, but practical resources for taking these potentials through technology development, testing, and commercialization are quite limited. This book 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 discusses manufacturing techniques including their limitations and challenges"-- Provided by publisher.
