Industrial Scale-Up Production of Nanoparticles—Challenges and Opportunities
摘要
Since the “Gold rush” type enthusiasm among scientists and engineers around the world on nanoparticles have developed many potential applications due to significant performance improvements in many artefacts by changing the shape and the size of the matter. The global market for nanomaterials was valued at USD 12.42 billion in 2023 and USD 14.34 billion in 2024 with over 15% of compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the sector. Staggering number of scientific publications produced each year by these communities is an unformidable task for any new comer to the field in grasping the knowledge created about the nanoparticles. Therefore, key approaches of nanoparticles synthesis and potential industrial production aspects may assist enthusiasts of nanoparticles to embark on their journey for further enhancement of the field and commercial exploitation of nanoparticle manufacturing industry. Thus, this book presents the main top-down and bottom-up approaches used for nanoparticle synthesis, mechanism of nanoparticle formation, their key operating conditions, opportunities, and challenges associated with synthesizing processes. It is expected to ignite the minds of budding nanomaterial scientists and engineers, business communities and tech entrepreneurs to develop next level of emerging nanoparticles by focusing saving energy, natural resources and reducing the impact on global environment via greener and safer processes at industrial scale.
