Global Trends in the Structuring of the World Nanotechnology Market
Summary
This article examines global trends in the nanotechnology market, documenting rapid capitalization growth and deep structural asymmetries between nations in research and development investment. Researchers found that nanotechnology involvement in the world economy is generating powerful synergistic effects and that nations' international competitiveness will increasingly be stratified by their level of nanotechnological and scientific development.
The article examines the current issues of global trends in the structuring of the world market of nanotechnology, and notes the rapid increase in the capitalization of the nanotechnology segment of the world market. The steady increase in the scale of the involvement of nanotechnology and nanomaterials in the world economy was noted both at the level of its individual sectors and intersectoral and territorial-spatial complexes, which generates powerful synergistic and cumulative effects of the development of the international economic system and its transfer to a qualitatively higher level of technological development. It is well-founded that nanotechnologies in the coming decades will not only determine the resource security of many countries of the world, but will also establish qualitatively new parameters of their international competitiveness and stratification by the level of scientific, technical and innovative development. It has been proven that the world market of nanotechnology, against the background of high growth rates of its capitalization in the last decade, is characterized by deep structural asymmetries. The global trend of the structuring of the world nanotechnology market has been updated, which consists in the growth of business sector costs for research and development in the field of nanotechnology. It has been proven that a notable feature of scientific research in the field of nanotechnological developments is the rapid dynamization of international co-authorship ties in publishing activities. It has been confirmed that the rapid structural dynamics of the nanotechnology segment of the global market in the last two decades fundamentally transforms the world production system based on the significant expansion of technological platforms for national industrial sectors, the field of biomedicine and ecology. These transformative shifts are caused primarily by broad opportunities for manipulation at the basic level of organization of atoms and molecules of substances, active development of transdisciplinary scientific research, deep convergence of science and education, engineering and technological systems.

Regulatory landscape of nanotechnology and nanoplastics from a global perspective
This review examines the global regulatory landscape for nanotechnology and nanoplastics, noting that regulations have not kept pace with the rapid growth of nanomaterials in consumer products. There is no globally agreed-upon definition of nanoplastics, and safety testing guidelines are still catching up. As research increasingly links nanoplastics to health concerns, the lack of coordinated regulation means people may be exposed to materials whose risks are not yet fully understood.
