Abstract

DIKWENI, Sipho; MAKGABUTANE, Boitumelo  and  MHLANGA, Sabelo D.. Lab-to-market guide for commercialisation of nanomaterials: A South African university perspective. S. Afr. j. sci. [online]. 2023, vol.119, n.1-2, pp.1-3. ISSN 1996-7489.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2023/14912.

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

Keywords : nanomaterials; nanotechnology; nano-products; commercialisation; research innovation; technology transfer.
