TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

Fast method, room temperature method (no external heating; only that from the synthesis process), occurs in ambient air and at atmospheric pressure. Cheaper and more efficient process; allows high-quality, pure products to be obtained. All other known, feasible techniques utilise combinations of high temperature, low pressure &/or specialised gaseous environements etc. Markets: functional/smart clothing (>US$2BN). Functional/smart glazing (>US$2BN).
