Advancement and Contributions of Nanoparticle Technology in Thailand from 2008 to 2024

Abstract

As an extension of Particle Technology (PT), “nanoparticle technology (NPT)” has emerged as a transformative research endeavor in many countries, including Thailand. NPT has delivered significant strides in research, development, and applications. This review paper explores the advancements and contributions of NPT within Thailand’s scientific community and industrial sectors by analyzing original technical publications on Thailand’s contributions during 2008–2024. Also, a brief mention of the establishment of the Center of Excellence in Particle Technology (CEPT) at Chulalongkorn University and the National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC) under the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) is given. The key NPT research issues, namely, synthesis methods, characterization techniques, and applications across various disciplines, including medicine, agriculture, and the environment, are selectively reviewed. The paper also discusses collaborative efforts, challenges, and future directions, highlighting Thailand’s roles in the global landscape.
