Nanotechnology is found in the tires of cars in containers for food storage, in toothpastes, in sunscreens, in tennis balls and rockets, in textiles, in CD players and even as part of the surface of sanitary ware.
Nanotechnology brings new features to consumer products, which are:
Nanotechnology can transform the normally hard to wash surfaces (for example, sandstone in the bathrooms, facades of buildings).
Nanotechnology has all the prerequisites to have a significant impact on the world economy, since application of nanotechnology will be used in virtually all sectors. It is expected that nanomaterials will have a major impact on all spheres, where materials play a role. These include ultra-thin coatings and active surfaces, as well as a new generation of chemical technology.
Nanobiotechnology will be useful in medicine (for example, tiny particles can carry drugs directly to sick cells) in the pharmaceutical industry and diagnostics, in countless industrial processes, agriculture and food industry.
Nanoparticles can also be used for example in the field of antibacterial protection in health. Unlike conventional disinfectants, which kill only bacteria, nanoparticles are able to prevent the growth of bacteria directly itself.
These and many other features are a wide range of applications in industry, medicine, or construction. It's especially great option for companies that would like to create a competitive advantage while reducing costs by using nanoproducts can be shown to reduce the cost of production of various products or the cost of subsequent maintenance.
