Roadmap for Nanomaterials By Design: From Fundamentals to Function - The Chemical Industry Vision2020 Technology Partnership (Vision2020) developed the Chemical Industry Roadmap For Nanomaterials By Design: From Fundamentals to Function with support from the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) and the DOE/EERE Chemicals. Vision2020 is leading the chemical industry's effort to implement the roadmap. (PDF 3.73 MB) |
The chemical industry has benefited from the technical success of projects cost-shared with industry and ITP. Today, there are emerging technologies with significant market potential. There are also cost-shared technologies that are now commercially available. In addition, ITP Chemicals has helped to create partnerships that conduct collaborative R&D.
