Review of nanomaterials R&D in 21st century in Thailand with highlight on nanoparticle technology

• We analyze and compare journal statistics of selected ASEAN countries and Japan.
• Japan comes first in GDP and the total number of papers.
• Singapore comes 1st in papers per million population and papers per billion GDP.
• We cover research on nanomaterials, including nanoparticle technology, in Thailand.
• We introduce applications of nanomaterials/nanoparticles in Thailand.

The authors first survey, classify, analyze and summarize the main statistics on international papers on nanomaterials (nanoparticles) published by Thai and foreign authors affiliated with organizations and institutions in Thailand. To get a better overall and more balanced view of Thailand’s strengths and specific fields of national interest, the corresponding statistics of selected ASEAN countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam) and Japan are also collected, analyzed and compared. Next the emphasis turns to nanomaterials, including nanoparticle technology, research in Thailand. The strengths and fields of interest of selected centers/labs are highlighted, especially those that have not been described recently elsewhere. Applications of nanomaterials/nanoparticles in Thailand are also briefly introduced.
