Abstract
Not Since the Discovery of the Silicon Chip has There Been This Much Excitement in the Field of Physics and Material Sciences
Innumerable universities have established nanocenters with many receiving
industrial funding/sponsorship with a large number of these spawning
nanomaterial related entrepreneurial businesses spun out as the fruits of
academic research. Private industry and governments around the world are
investing billions of dollars. This Frost & Sullivan Technical Insights'
recent research is a comprehensive effort to understand, analyze, and present
the current state of development in advanced nanocomposites. The study
encompasses technology applications, technical adoption, and market assessment
factors.
Much Activity in the Area of Nanotechnology has Taken Place at the Research Level at Universities and Research Centers Around the World as Scientists and Research Teams Investigated the Materials, Properties, and Processes Related to the World of Plastic Nanocomposites.
Many academic/corporate alliances have furthered plastic nanocomposite
commercialization. Hybrid Plastics Inc. is developing POSS materials for space
based radiation shielding; Atomistix A.S. has created unique software
simulation for nanomaterials and devices; Nanocor, as part of its broad range
of global alliances, for example, is working with Mitsubishi Gas Chemical on
improved nanoclay plastic bottle barriers; Nanocyl SA is a global leader in
CNT enhanced conductive nanocomposite polymers; and NanoMaterials Ltd. has
pioneered the emerging field of inorganic nanotubes.
Emerging, Cutting Edge Technologies and Trends Cut Across All Plastic Industry Segments
Frost & Sullivan's Technical Insights' "Advanced Nanocomposites" is the sixth
in a series of Research Services covering technically specialized aspects of
the global plastics industry following Advanced Injection Molding Technologies
(D385; 100+ advanced process technology analyses), Conductive Polymers (D390;
105+ R&D trends), Bioplastics (D380; 80+ emerging material and application
reviews), Plastics Medical Devices (D383; 115+ advanced plastics medical
device trends) and Plastics Manufacturing Cells (D371; 75+ global primary
robotic, and auxiliary equipment companies).
Successive Research Services will focus on emerging, cutting edge technologies
and trends in conductive polymers, advanced injection molding, and
nanocomposites. Additionally, Frost & Sullivan has completed initial Research
Services in the key related plastic industry areas of (1) plastics processing
technology (D287; 150+ global plastic equipment trends), (2) plastics
materials (D293; 125+ global plastics material trends), (3) plastics
manufacturing (D325; 90+ global trend setting plastics manufacturers), (4)
plastics design (D314; 110+ global design oriented plastics trends and
companies), (5) advanced plastics applications (D316; 110+ emerging global
plastics applications), and (6) plastics recycling technologies (D334; 75+
global plastics recycling technologies and legislative/market drivers).
