9.8.4 State of R&D
This section provides a comparative assessment of research and development status of enabling nanotechnologies. Fundamental Research is defined for this purpose as research with no particular goals of commercialisation. Applied Research is defined as research conducted in academia and industry directed towards a specific purpose and application. Prototype has been defined as Applied Research or Fundamental Research that has found a potential market application. Technologies that are in the field trial state are defined as those that are in the process of commercialisation, and are being tested. Deployed nanotechnologies are those that have found an early stage market. Mass Market has been defined as those technologies that have been adopted by large population and are attractive high growth markets.
The comparative assessment of research and development status for decontamination applications enabled by nanotechnology is shown in Table DE.1 below.
