abstract
Nanotechnology is a rapidly developing industry that will have a major affect on the way we live our lives. Creating new products with special properties on such a small scale poses ethical dilemmas, and quite often, fear in the eyes of the general public. When businesses are investing in nanotechnology, their products face the opposition of these and other social perspectives. Companies also face inherent nanotechnology challenges such as transforming the properties found on the nanoscale into the real world scale. The research conducted in this paper will look at many different industries that are utilizing nanotechnology to create new products. It will also address the issues companies face in creating a product that is economically viable and ultimately, financially profitable. In addition, the processes that different companies use to transfer the concepts discovered from their research and development to a commercialized product, utilizing nanotechnology, will also be discussed. note
