Lab-to-market guide for commercialisation of nanomaterials: A South African university perspective

Abstract

Significance:
This Perspective presents a unique guide for South African university researchers on how to successfully commercialise their research, especially nanomaterials. The commercialisation of nanomaterials has been a challenge for many researchers in South Africa because of a lack of information that can serve as a guide. The guide presented here is applicable across many disciplines of science, engineering, and technology, where nanomaterials are a subject of research and innovation. The full guide is included as supplementary material for reference.
