NANOTECHNOLOGY: CURRENT APPLICATIONS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
Journal Title: World Journal of Advance Healthcare Research - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Nanotechnology is the study of structures at nanoscale level ranging from 0.1 to 100 nm. Nanomaterials like nanoceramics, carbon nano tubes, metallic nanoparticles, massive nanoparticles, liposomes, dendrimers, quantum dots, nanowires and fullerenes are used due to their unique properties like electrical conductance, chemical reactivity, magnetic, optical effects and physical strength. The global market of nanoproducts has been increased at a very fast pace and various researchers have focused on developing innovative nanosystems and nanostructured materials. This technology has shown diverse applications in different industrial sectors like paper and pulp, cosmetics, textiles, medicine, electronics, transportation, space exploration, energy and environment etc. However, the research of nanomaterials on tissue culture and cell lines has also shown their hazardous effects and therefore, safety issues are of great concern for their use. Several regulations and guidelines have been issued by the government before the commercialization of nanomaterials at industrial scale.
