From chemical engineer to nanoengineer
15 of the 22 essential skills of a nanoengineer are already essential for a chemical engineer — about 68% of the job, before you learn anything new. It is the closest move from chemical engineer in the whole taxonomy.
These numbers compare two occupations, not you and a job. What you personally already cover depends on what you have actually done.

What a nanoengineer does
Nanoengineers combine the scientific knowledge of atomic and molecular particles with engineering principles for applications in a varied array of fields. They apply findings in chemistry, biology, and materials engineering, etc. They use technological knowledge for the improvement of existing applications or the creation of micro objects.
What carries over
15 skillsEssential in both jobs. This is the part of the move you have already made.
