powerpoint presentation on nanotechnology fueling the chemical industry
Nanotechnology, as a whole is still an emerging area with the need to make progress in both scientific and technological terms before enormous commercialization of products may occur.
Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating and characterizing matter at the atomic and molecular level (at the sub 100 nm level). It is one of the most exciting fields of science, involving a multitude of science and engineering disciplines, with widespread applications in electronics, chemical industry advanced materials, medicine, IT.
Greek prefix nano (dwarf) refers to dimensions which are one hundredth smaller than current components in micrometer range. Figuratively a nano element compares to a football like to football to the size of earth.
Nanotechnology is the ability to synthesis, manipulate and characterize matter at the sub 100 nm level. The applications of Nanotechnology are tremendous. This seminar highlights the commercial applications of Nanotechnology in the chemical Industry, includes production of new catalyst, coatings, filtration technologies and other end products as well as the materials upon which these products are based such as dendrimers.
Nanotechnology has been cast as the answer to many of world's major environment and health issues. It could, however, be a potential time bomb that, if left unchecked, could lead to many unforeseeable, problems. Muriel Axford takes a look at how developments in nanotechnology are affecting the chemicals industry.
While discussions between those in favour and those against nanotechnology continue, materials based on what is termed nanotechnology have found their way into everyday life. And as companies continue to invest in this area, many more products and applications are set evolve.
"Nanotechnology is a cross-sectional technology that can play a role in a variety of different industries and application areas," says Joachim Wolff, a member of Bayer Material Science's executive committee and head of the coatings, adhesives and specialities segment. "Its potential uses range from industrial production to energy supply and storage, from information technology to intelligent surfaces and also some areas of medicine, like diagnosis or therapy," he adds.
Nanotechnology is widely defined as "the science of engineering matter at the atomic and molecular stage". It is the unique properties of materials manufactured or engineered at this level that has led supporters of nanotechnology to claim it could be used to benefit mankind in many ways, from treating cancer to preventing pollution.
Materials and applications based on nanotechnology are in use in almost all sectors from personal care products, food packaging and textiles, through to coatings, electronics and automotives. In the early days of the technology's development, small companies and university spinoffs were leading the way, but the presence of a number of major chemical companies is increasing the pace of change.
