Nanotechnology

 What is Nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology relates to the production, research and use of extremely small structures on the atomic and molecular levels. The word 'nano' comes from the Greek language and means “dwarf.” One nanometer (nm) equals one millionth of a millimeter, or one ten-thousandth of the thickness of a human hair.
One nanometer represents four to six atoms. Particles on a nano scale, so called “nano particles” or polymers (smaller than 100nm), are the building blocks of this technology.

Nano particles are either water- or alcohol-based and consist primarily of four materials – ceramics, diamonds, silver and glass – that interact differently depending on the surface to be treated. Through self-organizing anti-adhesion components, the nano particles form an invisible barrier. Only the nano particles remain on the sealed surfaces, while the water or alcohol evaporates.

Nanotechnology offers endless opportunities for almost every field, including energy and conservation technology, IT business, hotel and hospitality trades, and medical and pharmaceutical industries.
