Nanotechnology is widely perceived as one of the key technologies of the 21st century that would transform the world’s economy (Roco and Bainbridge 2002). The supramolecular architectures represent a new revolutionary approach in research and production. The nature of interdisciplinary technology research makes it useful in many applications. Nanotechnology has been recognized as a promising new growth technology, opening up a floodgate of opportunities
for developing viable applications (Roco 2001, Luther 2004). In other words, this field of technology offers the possibility of transforming the international science and technology policy landscape and making significant impacts on the direction of research and development for a wide range of nations and companies (Michelson 2008). Given that nanotechnology is one of the fastest-growing research areas in scientific and technical fields in the world, it is expected that nano revolution would create a wealth of new materials and manufacturing possibilities (Ikezawa 2001, Wilson 2002, National Science
and Technology Council 2006). It is now a science and technology priority area for many countries with the governments’ efforts to put the results of nanotechnology development to commercialization. The national policy for nanotechnology is to change the existing technology system and bring about an industrial revolution (the nano revolution). Under the pressure of competition, the key to a success would lie in how each country could find the right application to focus on in order to survive through international competitions.
