The study format includes the following major elements:
- Executive summary.
- Definitions.
- Milestones in the development of nanocomposites.
- Nanocomposites that are in commercial use or under development, associated technologies and applications.
- Nanocomposites with the greatest commercial potential through 2021.
- Global nanocomposite market trends from 2015 to 2021.
- Factors that will influence the long-term development of the nanocomposites market.
- Nanocomposites industry structure and market shares.
