Modeling Tools for Environmental and Economic Uncertainties in Nanomanufacturing

Abstract

With the increasing trend for use of nanomaterials in various products such as biosensors, batteries, etc., there will be a demand for nanomanufacturing production scale-up. Given the uncertainties in production scale-up, modeling is likely to become a useful planning tool. The model will predict the production capacity periodically by taking various uncertainties into account. This research aims to develop both deterministic and stochastic models with specific variables. This first step will contribute to final complex models by including various uncertainties.
