Nanotechnology Market
Estimated sales of buckyballs, nanotubes, and other nanomaterials vary widely, but a reasonable estimate might be $50 million. However, products made partly with nanomaterials were worth $26.5 billion last year, reckons NanoMat, a materials-oriented network of research labs and companies based in Karlsruhe, Germany. Current products include chemicals produced with microscopic catalytic particles, sun lotions with invisibly small zinc-oxide flakes to shield against ultraviolet rays, emulsifiers that keep paint from separating, and coatings that make eyeglass lenses more scratch resistant or extend the life of industrial tools.
