1、NANOMATERIALSCAS INSIGHTSInterest in nanomaterials is growing due to their numerous applications across many sectors.We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the CAS Content CollectionTM to better understand the emerging trends and latest research and development in nanomaterials.The CAS Content Col
2、lection is the largest human-curated collection of published scientific knowledge,with over one million documents related to nanomaterials published since 2019.Based on our findings,topics of research or commercial interest were selected for further analysis,in which we examined all relevant journal
3、 articles and patent documents published over the last two decades to gain further insight into each nanomaterial-related field.IntroductionNANOMATERIALS INSIGHT REPORT|3NANOMATERIALS INSIGHT REPORT|3Emerging topics in nanomaterialsTo identify and understand the most active areas of R&D within the b
4、road landscape of nanomaterials,we adopted a three-pronged approach:1.We conducted a quantitative journal and patent document data analysis to build conceptual mind maps showing a hierarchy of active and emerging research concepts.2.We then selected key features(concepts)in the mind maps,focusing on
5、 examples of the most influential research driving their emergence with recent literature examples.3.Finally,we performed an additional quantitative analysis to explore connections between concepts in the mind map.The conceptual mind maps were created by identifying and analyzing 1.3 million nanomat
6、erial-related published journal and patent documents in the CAS Content Collection since 2019.We used Natural Language Processing analysis,guided by subject matter experts,to extract and group scientific concepts from these documents.To help select relevant topics in the map,we calculated the public
