Nanomaterials and the Chemical Industry RD
Roadmap Workshop WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

• Melissa Eichner
• Energetics, Incorporated
• September 30, October 1 2, 2002

2
Prioritized Research Agenda

• Identify and prioritize critical technologies
  necessary to exploit nanoscale properties
• Integrate them across time scales and into
  functional products
• Materials and Enabling Technologies

3
Vision for Nanomaterials by Design

• Establish a "library" of diverse nanomaterial
  building blocks (less than 100 nanometers)
  synthesized by well-defined, economically viable
  manufacturing processes that display
  well-characterized compositions, stable
  architectures, and reproducible "properties."
  These materials can be safely assembled using
  reproducible, cost-effective procedures into
  systems and devices that perform specified
  functions.
