What is the Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is the science, art and the power of breaking elements into nano-sized particles and controlling them. In other words it is the technology and research in the atomic and molecular sizes and utilizing systems which have new functions and properties because of their small size.
This size range is 1-100 nm.
History
1867: The foremost idea about nano was presented by Clerk Maxwell.
1920: Producing of one molecular layer and winning Nobel prize by Katharine lrving Langmuir & B. Blodgett.
1959: Presenting an essay named “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom” by Richard P.Feynman.
1974
resenting an exact description about separation, consolidation, and deformation of materials by one atom or by one molecule by Tanigochi.
1980
r. K. Eric Drexler presented two books named”Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology and Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing, and Computation “.
1990: Discovering how to synthesize fluorins with high quality by Huffman & Kraetschmer.
Nanomaterial Applications
Many already on the market:
Cosmetics, sunscreen, sporting goods, stain-resistant clothing, electronics, sensors, anti-microbial agents, paints, food supplements, …
Coming Soon:
Pharmaceuticals – drug delivery
Tumor targeting cancer treatments
Artificial Bone composites
Catalytic materials (I.E. chemical spill clean-up), Industrial films, Building materials/Insulation, many more
Foreseeable Future:
Fuel Cells, Solar Cells, Batteries, nano-scale devices and machinery
Cancer Detection
By injecting quantum dots into tumors, investigators have been able to image sentinel lymph nodes. These results could lead to a simple, non-invasive method for detecting metastasis.
The investigators found that they readily observed the quantum dots moving out of tumors and into the lymph system.
Use in Stem Cell Research:
Distinct perfluorocarbon nanoparticles were used to track different stem cells injected into tumor-bearing mice. These particular nanoparticles are taken up readily by stem cells over the course of a 12-hour incubation, and the stem cells showed no ill effects from the nanoparticles .
Nano-Bandage
Curad® Silver Bandages:
“…use silver in the wound pad as a natural antibacterial. Laboratory testing showed that silver reduced bacterial growth like Staph. aureaus, E. coli, E. hirae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (a powerful germ that does not respond to many antibacterials) in the dressing for 24 hours.”
What is Nano?
• A nanometer is 1 billionth of a meter; the width of 10 hydrogen atoms. • Engineers accept up to 100 nanometers as being “nanoscale.”
Why Nano?
• Beyond silicon for electronics • Potential to unravel secrets of bio cell • Superior electrical, mechanical, chemical, optical properties
Nano Appplications
• Electronics and IT • Heath care • Environment protection • Energy • Anti-terrorism and homeland defense General Scope The Nano Packaging Technical Committee aims to be involved in both nano-research and nano-education. Research dissemination is accomplished by means of global workshops and conferences. The education will be accomplished by means of publications, short courses, academic courses and books.
