Substances with dimensions that are less than 100 nm ("nanomaterials") often have new and surprising properties, including magnetic, optical, mechanical and electronic effects. Integrating nanomaterials into devices and applications (e.g., solar cells, sensors, drug delivery) can give companies completely new market opportunities, or enhance existing technologies in ways that are not possible with traditional materials. The field of nanomaterials is rapidly expanding in parallel with the field of nanotechnology, which is anticipated to soon be a trillion dollar industry. The number of people employed in this sector is expected to multiply in the next decade, and there is an immediate need to increase the number of highly trained personnel (HQP) in this sector. In Canada alone, there are already >85 companies active in nanomaterials R&D, and this is expanding. Emerging and established companies require HQP in nanomaterials to remain competitive.

尺寸小于 100 nm 的物质（“纳米材料”）通常具有令人惊讶的新特性，包括磁、光、机械和电子效应。将纳米材料集成到设备和应用（例如太阳能电池、传感器、药物输送）中可以为公司带来全新的市场机会，或以传统材料无法实现的方式增强现有技术。纳米材料领域与纳米技术领域同步快速扩张，预计很快将成为价值数万亿美元的产业。该行业的就业人数预计在未来十年内将成倍增加，并且迫切需要增加该行业训练有素的人员（HQP）的数量。仅在加拿大，已有超过 85 家公司活跃于纳米材料研发领域，而且这一规模还在不断扩大。新兴公司和老牌公司都需要纳米材料方面的高质量产品才能保持竞争力。
