Opportunities in Europe Nanomaterials Market
In the aerospace industry, aircraft manufacturers are striving towards making aerospace parts stronger, tougher, and long-lasting. Recent research has revealed that nano-enabled products in aircrafts can increase fatigue life by 200 to 300%. Components fabricated with carbon nanotubes reinforced polymers can deliver improved mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. Similarly, polymer-silicate nanocomposites can be used in fuel storage tanks. Increased commercial application of nanomaterials in the aerospace industry will provide significant opportunity to the material suppliers and part fabricators.
Engineered nanomaterials are rapidly gaining wide acceptance in the form of cosmetics, food packaging, drug delivery systems, therapeutics, biosensors, and others. The worldwide production of nanomaterials has crossed the mark of 3.5 million tons and is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. Anything can be toxic at a higher dose, but the more important aspect is how toxic these nanomaterials are at the potential concentration at which they are used. It has been found that exposure to high levels of silvers over a long period of time can result in argyria; a condition in which the skin and other organs get decolorized to a bluish-gray color. However, to study the toxicity in and impact of nanomaterials on humans and the environment requires proper gathering of data and their analysis.
Nanomaterials are used in applications such as solar cells, li-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and hydrogen storage systems due to their huge surface to volume ratio, favorable transport properties, altered physical properties, and confinement effects. The benefits that nanomaterials deliver in energy storage include:
- Providing a large surface area to boost the electrochemical reaction or molecular adsorption occurring at the solidliquid or solidgas interface
- Generating optical effects to improve optical absorption in solar cells
- Giving rise to high crystallinity and/or porous structure to facilitate the electron or ion transport and electrolyte diffusion, so as to ensure the electrochemical process occurs with high efficiency.
Europe is one of the prominent regions in terms of usage of nanomaterials and is forecast to have significant growth in demand during the forecast period. The decreasing prices of nanomaterials due to increasing mass production are responsible for the robust growth of the market.
