Assessing TRL in nanotechnology involves a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Key factors to consider include:
Scientific Validation: Has the technology been validated through peer-reviewed publications? Prototype Development: Has a functional prototype been developed and tested? Environmental Testing: Has the technology been tested in environments that simulate real-world conditions? Regulatory Approvals: Has the technology received necessary regulatory approvals for testing or commercialization? Market Readiness: Is there a clear path to market, including potential customers and partners?
