ACHEMA Takes A Look At Nanomaterials
Abstract:
Nanomaterials is a big business−and growing, proclaimed Degussa's Harald Häger at ACHEMA 2006, the international trade fair for the chemical process industries that was held in May in Frankfurt. Several business studies put the market value for nanomaterials in 2002 at around $23 billion, observed Häger, he said studies predict that the total market value for nanomaterials in 2006 will be more than $30 billion, with nanocomposites accounting for $380 million to $1.2 billion.
