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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
