NanoSustain Factsheet and Case Studies

How can nanotechnology-based products impact human health and the environment? Can they be recycled? Can they be safely disposed of? How can you find out?

To answer these questions, the EC-funded NanoSustain project has been developing new sustainable solutions through an investigation of the life-cycle of nanotechnology-based products.

The World Market for Nanocoatings

The World Market for Nanocoatings

The general coating industry has declined but specialized coating surface engineering sectors are witnessing strong growth driven by the needs of high-end industries, such as oil and gas and electronics. Nanocoatings are opening up new market opportunities in the global coatings arena. Properties such as anti-microbialism, thermal insulation, dirt and water repellency, hardness, corrosion resistance, flame retardancy, UV stability, anti-graffiti, self-cleaning, moisture absorbing, gloss retention and chemical and mechanical properties are improved significantly using nanostructured materials.

Transparent Electronics Markets - 2012

Transparent Electronics Markets - 2012

In the past few years there has been much talk about “transparent electronics,” but few, if any, attempts to assess the potential size of this market or whether there are genuine opportunities to be found in it. This new report fills this gap and provides the first assessment of transparent electronics from a commercial – rather than technological – perspective. The report covers both opportunities at the applications and at the materials level.
