摘要: ABSTRACT Public perception may have a strong impact on the progress of nanotechnology. A comprehensive risk assessment should therefore take public into account. This article reviews social science research examining Factors that are important for shaping described, and applications could pose acceptance problems identified. Possibilities limits dealing with future nanotechnology discussed. Implications industry outlined.
