INTRODUCTION
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This report will focus on the application of nanotechnologies in the coating
and adhesive industries and will quantify their current and projected global
markets to 2015. These nanomaterials-based products are enabled by unique
constituent nanoparticulate, nanocrystalline, or colloidal compositions,
dimensions, geometries, molecular-scale electronic properties, as well as
other inbuilt nanometric processes and kinetics. Combinations of these
elements have strong potential for enabling significantly improved, or
entirely new and novel capabilities. These competencies would have likely
been deemed as unattainable in the recent past. The report will also touch on
the roles that nanostructured surface features and their resulting properties
may play when they work in conjunction with these coatings and adhesives.
A myriad of important capabilities can be enabled by nanotechnology-based
coatings and adhesives (for simplicity' s sake, henceforth, these will be
referred to as nanocoatings and nanoadhesives). There will undoubtedly be a
number of "cross-application" nanocoating and nanoadhesive formulations, which
when reconfigured, will have the potential for diverse applications across
several market sectors. For example, self-cleaning nanocoating products for
the automotive industry are likely to be specifically formulated for this
sector, and will exhibit properties that are different from the self-cleaning
nanocoating products that are designed for construction/architectural
applications. Antimicrobial nanocoating formulations, utilized to keep
hospital surfaces free from bacteria, will likely be much different that the
antimicrobial nanocoating formulations used for in vivo catheters or stents.
In addition, there are likely to be a number of nuances where nanocoatings or
nanoadhesives may be valid in both categories. For example, certain
nanocoatings that serve to functionalize the bare surfaces of given material;
making it more receptive to further modification, may also function as an
adhesive undercoat.
A full range of distinctive nanocoatings and nanoadhesives that are currently
on the market, as well as various "products in progress," which show promise
for beneficial future applications will be explored. A survey of relevant
patents, companies that manufacture and market these products, and research
groups that are engaged in the development of next generation nanocoatings and
nanoadhesives will be conducted.
REASONS FOR DOING THIS STUDY
Robust potential markets for nanocoatings and nanoadhesive products exist
worldwide for a myriad of applications spanning medical and health care,
electronics, energy, transportation, construction, packaging, forestry,
textile, and homeland security sectors to name a few. These innovative
nanotechnologies have the capacity for enabling a wide range of "smart"
functional surfaces and interfaces as well as the development of advanced,
highly effective, yet economical bonding, and connection capabilities. This
report will serve to elucidate the latest developments in these fascinating
areas, survey a range of products that are already impacting specific market
sectors, and explore how these particular innovative nanotechnologies will
contribute to the reshaping of our world.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
This BCC research report will serve to impart unique information concerning
the rapidly expanding progress that is taking place in the research,
development and commercialization of novel and advanced nanocoatings and
nanoadhesives. Descriptions of the latest developments in these areas convey
timely insights that will be of potential interest to those involved in the
coating and adhesive sectors, as well as those engaged in a myriad of surface
modification industries.
Nanocoating and nanoadhesive related topics touched upon in this study may
have significance for business leaders, thought leaders, other business
decision makers, and marketing/sales specialists within the coating and
adhesive sectors. This report may also hold interest for nanotechnology and
nanomedicine investigators, medical device researchers and engineers, military
research personnel, aerospace and other transportation researchers and
engineers, as well as a wide range of individuals involved in any scientific
discipline within academia.
SCOPE OF REPORT
This report will be divided into two primary sections - nanocoatings and
nanoadhesives - to survey existing and emerging technologies in these markets
worldwide; survey and provide an analysis on relevant patents, as well as to
profile the key companies involved with the development of products in these
areas. Current and projected global markets for these particular
nanotechnologies will be elucidated and segmented into geographical regions
and countries. All revenue figures are in current (2009) U.S. dollars.
Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in this study.
The methodology included extensive literature searches, and the assimilation
and distillation of global scale nanocoatings and nanoadhesives related
research. Where clarification or additional information was required to
further elucidate specific technologies, individual researchers were
contacted. Companies were consulted when a more in-depth description of their
processes, products, and perceived markets was warranted.
The market values expressed within this report include those attributed to the
dedicated research involved for specific items, as well as the valuation of
finished products. Nanotechnology may be perceived as a fundamentally
enabling and value-adding platform with the potential capacity for
encompassing virtually every business/market sector. Therefore, when
describing various facets of the nanocoatings and nanoadhesives applications
market, the author feels that a distinction should not be made between the
worth of particular products and/or processes, and those of the integrated
nanomaterials explicitly, which serve to improve their quality and performance.
The rationale here is that many products and processes that have been, or will
be, enhanced and further functionalized via nanotechnology might be less, or
not at all, likely to be considered for purchase were it not for their
value-added "nanoness" factor. The markets for these goods themselves may be
generated, to a significant degree, by virtue of the nanomaterials, nanoscale
engineering, and/or nanodevices that they contain, and the added benefits that
they convey. Hence, a blended value for these markets seems appropriate.
INFORMATION SOURCES
The majority of information sources used in this report were derived from
online literature searches, journal-published scientific papers, editorials,
news articles, and government as well as global databases, reports and
briefings. Numerous books and magazines were consulted for relevant
technological information, or for background sections. Researchers who are
considered experts in their respective fields, and nanocoating and
nanoadhesive-producing companies were also consulted.
