Nanofilm
Nanofilms are thin films ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in thickness. These materials exhibit unique chemical and physical properties, largely influenced by quantum behavior and surface effects. Their low surface energy, reduced friction coefficient, and high selectivity make them valuable across various industries, including solar energy, medicine, and food packaging. The properties of nanofilms are highly dependent on their chemical composition and molecular structure.
Nanofilms are characterized using a range of instrumental techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM], X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Raman spectroscopy, and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy.
The nanofilm market has gained significant economic importance, with a market size of $2.06 billion, projected to grow to $7.09 billion by 2027. This growth is primarily driven by technological applications. Leading companies in the global nanofilm market include Nano Therapeutics Pvt. Ltd., Nanofilm, Cosmo Films Limited, Smart Source Technologies, Nano Foam Technology Private Limited, Advanced Thin Film, and MetaTechnica.
