Nano-composite plastics and carbon nanotubes have been utilized for industrial and consumer packaging, the later offering an improved packaging solution for electronics components by making the materials used lighter and stronger. Nano-porous silica is a high porous, low-density solid material that supports various temperatures making it a great insulation product that can be applied in a wide range of fields from pipe insulation to refrigerators and even microelectronics. Nanoparticle based colloids are employed in the manufacturing of sunscreens, paints, and printer inks and nano-coatings can be applied in order to obtain scratch resistant surfaces. Composite nano-materials can be considered the basis for all the other current and future commercial applications of nanotechnology.

Ricardo Morales on the synthesis and characterization of bimetallic magnetic nanoparticles for further application in cancer treatment, I gained the skill sets needed to come up with research ideas and implement them as well as how to resolve issues that arise within any research. My experience as a teaching assistant in organic and general chemistry at the University of La Verne Chemistry Department taught me the importance of lab safety and the joys of connecting what is learned in lecture to lab and helping students make that connection in a lab setting while creating a safe environment. My experience as an Academic Success Center tutor in chemistry course from general chemistry to advance organic chemistry taught me the joys of helping students to truly understand material and not memorize it but have that knowledge become a part of them that they can use whether in a research setting or to explain those concepts to their peers. These experiences in undergrad allowed me to determine that academia was the right fit for me; graduate school will give the skills needed to fulfill this

Nanotechnology is a term of two words: the first word is “Nano” and derives from the Greek word “Nanos” and it means “Dwarf” or something very small. The second word is “Technology” and it means applied application of knowledge in a certain field. So nanotechnology is the technology of very small substances, and it specializes in treating the substance on the Nano measure to produce new, useful, and unique resultants in its properties [22-23].The Nano is a unique measuring unit and from the physical and mathematical point of view, the Nano equals one part of a billion of the measured unit. The nanometer (nm) equals a part of a billion part of a meter. Thus, it is 10-9 of a meter. The Nano is used as a measuring unit for very minute particles [24-26].

Working with nanoparticles is critical due to its nanoscale; they should be handled carefully considering safety

Ethylene glycol (EG) and Hydrochloric acid (HCl) were purchased from Merck specialities Pvt Ltd. All the chemicals were used as received without any purification. We synthesized silver nanocubes (Ag NCs) by a typical polyol method. In a typical synthesis, 12.5 mL of ethylene glycol was poured in 50 mL of round bottom flask and heated at 140°C for 1 h under stirring. An amount of 2.5 mL of HCl solution (3.3mM in EG) was quickly injected into the reaction mixture. After 10 min, 7.5 mL of AgNO3 solution (94mM in EG) and 7.5 mL of PVP (147mM in EG) solutions were simultaneously injected into the stirring solution. The reaction mixture was

Your vehicle is powered by an engine. In order for your engine to work correctly, it needs to use motor oil. While many people think that motor oil has one main purpose, it actually has four basic functions.

This book by Hornyak and partners brings into perspective an integrated introduction to the nanoscience and its applications. The book further presents illustrations in full color regarding nanotechnology. From these illustrations, I will be developing a detailed understanding of the fundamentals of nanotechnology. I will also be acquiring knowledge on the different aspects of nanotechnology including chemistry, physics, and biology. The authors also discuss the impacts of nanotechnology on the society, which is also an important part of my paper. I will be gathering information on industrial concerns associated with nanotechnology in manufacturing and safety. This will broaden my discussion to a better-informed approach in explaining implications of nanotechnology in the modern

What does it take to win a Nobel Prize? In the article “Updated: World’s smallest gadgets bag Nobel chemistry prize,” author Daniel Clery describes the monumental undertaking that is required to win one of Science’s most prestigious awards. While Clery’s tone overall is very informal, he uses a lot of moderately technical descriptions to chronical how many separate discoveries had to be made. Clery employs a chronological approach, which aids the reader in understanding how the Nobel Prize was really awarded for several individual important discoveries that were synthesized into single project that of huge importance: the creation machines nearly at the atomic scale.

Nanoparticles are materials with overall dimensions less then one hundred nanometers, they are also known as zero-dimensional materials. These particles differ from other nanomaterials because all their dimensions are in nanoscale, apposed to one dimensional or two-dimensional nanomaterials which have one or two dimensions greater then a nanoscale. Nanoparticles have amazing applications in medicine pushing the boundaries of what we can accomplish in areas like medical imaging and drug and gene delivery. Nanoparticles are replacing conventional organic dyes used to dye tissue and cells for imagining with quantum dots. In drug delivery, they are using natural nano-polymers delivery methods to increase the solubility of drugs and prolong the

Nanotechnology involves the handling of functional systems at a very small scale (Bamrungsap, Zhao, Chen, Wang, Fu, Tan & Li, 2012). When talking about nanotechnology in relation to health, it can commonly be referred to as nanomedicine. Nanotechnology, specifically nanoparticles, have had a recent uprising in research studies. Fortunately new studies are proving to show how nanoparticles can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. The correlation between both lung cancer and nanotechnology in modern day medicine, is believed to be very beneficial to patients and doctors

Nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter on the molecular scale, can be applied to numerous scientific fields, such as medicine, surface chemistry, micro fabrication, and organic chemistry (Destito, Schneemann & Manchester, 2009). In general, these small-sized particles are used to improve the functioning of commercial products and, in the subsection of nanomedicine, are used for therapeutics, tumor targeting, and vaccines (Crisci, Bárcena & Montoya, 2012). For example, the use of molecular nanotechnology improves vehicle fuel cells and catalytic converters, helps filter wastewater, and strengthens commercial products, such as bowling balls and glue. (Doll et. al., 2012). Harisinghani, through multiple experiments, also discovered that nanoparticles such as iron oxide can be used to image lymph nodes in patients with prostate cancer (Destito et. al., 2009). However, even with their vast range of applications, nanotechnology continues to raise issues on its toxicity and negative impact on the environment (Destito et. al., 2009).

Now a days, Nanotechnology is widely used in many industrial areas such as, computing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textile industries and many more. The major challenge is not only to make these materials smaller in size in order to store or process more information but also to optimize the synthesis process. However, the additional key point of the nanotechnology revolution within the next decades is that it will have the capability to use the advantage of mesoscopic properties of such Nano sized materials. These properties can strongly differ from the respective bulk counterparts due to quantum confinement or the high surface-to-volume ratio. For example, there will be increase in bandgap of these Nano materials for which it can be used

Nanotechnology is the development of atoms in a certain object. Nanotechnology has become very popular in the past few years. It is a way to rebuild the systems of life. To make systems move faster than ever before. Nanometer is about 10 times the size of an atom. Each of these has a huge effect on a system. Still there are questions out there that keep people wondering how important nanotechnology is to us. Many wonder how will it affect them and if we should continue this research. I myself wondered about nanotechnology. After researching this topic I have learned new and interesting facts to help me understand the entire concept.
