Publications

 

Book:  Nanotechnology Commercialisation

  Pan Stanford Publishing, 2013, ISBN: 9789814303286

 

“This book serves as the bible of nanomaterials. It covers every possible aspect related to nanomaterials, including their chemical and physical properties, applications, production, enabled greener products, characterization, waste, environment, health and safety, regulation and public engagement. It also covers market opportunities, intellectual property strategy and challenges of adoption and business. It is by far the most comprehensive book I have ever seen.”

Dr. Lerwen Liu - Managing Director, NanoGlobe, and Founding Secretary, Asia Nano Forum
