Applications of Nanotechnology

The Applications of Nanotechnology in commercial products, although most applications are limited to the bulk use of passive nanomaterials. Examples include titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles in sunscreen, cosmetics and some food products, etc. Nanotechnology is being used in developing countries to help treat disease and prevent health issues. The umbrella term for this kind of nanotechnology is Nanomedicine. Nanotechnology is also being applied to or developed for application to a variety of industrial and purification processes. Purification and environmental cleanup applications include the desalination of water, water filtration, wastewater treatment, groundwater treatment, and other nanoremediation.

Materials science and Materials chemistry

Materials science is an interdisciplinary field involving the properties of matter and its applications to various areas of science and engineering. It includes elements of applied physics and chemistry, as well as chemical, mechanical, civil and electrical engineering. Materials chemistry involves the use of chemistry for the design and synthesis of materials with interesting or potentially useful physical characteristics, such as magnetic, optical, structural or catalytic properties.

Nanoparticles

Nanoparticles are particles that exist on a nanometre scale. They can possess physical properties such as uniformity, conductance or special optical properties that make them desirable in materials science and biology. Nanoparticles are particles between 1 and 100 nanometres (nm) in size with a surrounding interfacial layer.

Nanochemistry and Nanomedicine

Nanochemistry is the combination of chemistry and nanoscience. Nanochemistry is associated with synthesis of building blocks which are dependent on size, surface, shape and defect properties. Nanochemistry is being used in chemical, materials and physical, science as well as engineering, biological and medical applications. Nanomedicine involves the use of nanoscale materials, such as biocompatible nanoparticles and nanorobots, for diagnosis, delivery, sensing or actuation purposes in a living organism.

Nanosciense and Technology

Nanoscience and technology is the branch of science that studies systems and manipulates matter on atomic, molecular and supramolecular scales. Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, you will learn the basics of physics, biology, and chemistry on the nanometer scale, supplemented by courses on technology and engineering to promote an understanding of practical applications.

Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology

Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology deals with emerging new technologies for developing customized solutions for drug delivery systems. Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology has played a very key role to overcome several drawbacks of conventional dosage forms for like tablets, capsules etc.

Nanodevices, Nanosensors, and Nanoelectronics

Nanodevices are critical enablers that will allow mankind to exploit the ultimate technological capabilities of electronic, magnetic, mechanical, and biological systems. Nanosensors are nanoscale devices that measure physical quantities and convert those quantities to signals that can be detected and analyzed. Nanoelectronics refer to the use of nanotechnology in electronic components. The term covers a diverse set of devices and materials, with the common characteristic that they are so small that inter-atomic interactions and quantum mechanical properties need to be studied extensively.

Graphene & 2D Materials and its Applications

Graphene is a crystalline allotrope of carbon in the form of a nearly transparent one atom thick sheet. It is hundreds of times stronger than most steels by weight. 2D Materials, sometimes referred to as single layer materials, are crystalline materials consisting of a single layer of atoms. These materials have found use in applications such as photovoltaic, semiconductors, electrodes and water purification.

Nanoengineering

Nanoengineering is the practice of engineering on the nanoscale. It derives its name from the nanometre, a unit of measurement equalling one billionth of a meter. Nanoengineering is largely a synonym for nanotechnology, but emphasizes the engineering rather than the pure science aspects of the field.

Nanotechnology in Tissue Engineering

Nanotechnology in Tissue Engineering. Nanotechnology is currently being utilized for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Nanostructures can mimic tissue-specific bio environments by designing constructs with particular biochemical, mechanical and electrical properties.

Nanotechnology in Agriculture and Food Industry

Nanotechnology will revolutionize agriculture and food industry by novation new techniques such as: precision farming techniques, enhancing the ability of plants to absorb nutrients, more efficient and targeted use of inputs, disease detection and control diseases, withstand environmental pressures and effective.

Nanotoxicology and Nanobiotechnology

Nanotoxicology is the study of the toxicity of nanomaterials. Because of quantum size effects and large surface area to volume ratio, nanomaterials have unique properties compared with their larger counterparts that affect their toxicity. Nanobiotechnology, bionanotechnology, and nanobiology are terms that refer to the intersection of nanotechnology and biology. Given that the subject is one that has only emerged very recently, bionanotechnology and nanobiotechnology serve as blanket terms for various related technologies.

Nanophotonics, Nanocomposites

Nanophotonics or nano-optics is the study of the behavior of light on the nanometer scale, and of the interaction of nanometer-scale objects with light. Nanocomposite is a multiphase solid material where one of the phases has one, two or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers (nm), or structures having nano-scale repeat distances between the different phases that make up the material.
