Report On The Nanotechnology Applications in Some Fields

One of the most important discoveries of 20

th

century is the Nanotechnology field .

Nanotechnology is the science which studies the matter on the atomic scale . Nano is 10^-9 of the unit , and for nanotechnology , scientists deal with length and volume . (Fig 1-0) . These things are generally minute with dimensions less than 100 nanometer (nm) and can be useful by itself or as part of larger devices containing multiple objects minutes . At nano level , we find that the physical properties and chemical and biological differ materially from material in the normal state and at the macro level , which makes us get new properties of the elements that we know . Nanotechnolgy discovery comes at time the world needs a real revolution in some fields and a real development in tools used to deal with problems . Here are some examples about the reasons of discovery of nanotechnology : - In medicine there were a lot of diseases and problems that weren't cured and solved as cancer , Neuro-electronic interfaces , surgery . . . . etc . - The increase use of energy in various fields , Nanotechnology came to find ways to reduce energy use and increase efficiency and help in using ways more environmental . - In agriculture field , nanotechnology has the ability to change the system of agriculture and food production chain , from the production process and to the process of conservation , processing and transport packaging finishing by waste treatment . -People are used to living with entertainmaints and seeking to find th easiest ways of building and in architecture . In our report , we are going to talk about the use of nanotechnology in architecture , medicine , industry and the nanotechnology future .

anotechnology ,the ability to manipulate matter at the scale of less than one billionth of a meter, has the potential to transform the built environment in ways almost unimaginable today. Nanotechnology is already employed in the manufacture of everyday items from sunscreen to clothing, and its introduction to architecture is not far behind. On the near horizon, it may take building enclosure materials (coatings ,panels and insulation) to dramatic new levels of performance in terms of energy, light, security and intelligence. Even these first steps into the world of nanotechnology could dramatically alter the nature of building enclosure and the way our buildings relate to environment and user. At mid-horizon, the development of carbon nanotubes and other breakthrough materials could radically alter building design and performance. The entire distinction between structure and skin, for example, could disappear as ultralight, super-strong materials functioning as both structural skeleton and enclosing skin are developed. Applications heat absorbing windows Heat absorbing windows, manufactured by Vanceva, offer solar performance superior to that of previously available laminating systems. Alone, or when combined with solar management glass, this new glazing interlayer provides the architectural marketplace with new, cost effective options to control heat and energy loads in buildings . By selectively reducing the transmittance of solar energy relative to visible light , these solar performance interlayers produce glazing systems that can result in savings in the capital cost of energy control equipment as well as operating costs of climate control equipment. Benefits:

Energy efficiency Keeps solar heat out of a building while maintaining optimal visible light transmission, facilitating lower capital expenditures on energy control equipment and lower operating costs of equipment Safety and security When subjected to accidental impact, the glass and solar interlayer combine to absorb the force of the impact. Should the force be sufficient to break the glass, the resulting fragments tend to remain adhered to the solar interlayer. Ultraviolet protection The solar interlayer blocks up to 99% of the sun's UV rays while allowing the important visible light to pass through. Design versatility Architectural laminated glass, made with solar interlayer, can be used in curtain walls, windows, doors, skylights, shop fronts, and virtually any other application imaginable. Energy Coating Similar to the way a plant absorbs sunlight and turns it into chemical energy to fuel the growth of a plant, energy coatings absorb sunlight and indoor light and convert them into electrical energy. Energy coatings are produced by working on the nano scale by injecting a dye into titanium dioxide, a white pigment commonly used in toothpaste and paint. The dye, applied to a flexible material, absorbs energy from both the sun and indoor light. This light energy travels through the titanium dioxide and a series of electrodes and is converted into electrical energy . Konarka, the major producer of energy coatings, develops and manufactures power plastic that is inexpensive ,lightweight, flexible and versatile. The light-activated power plastic film can be embedded within devices, systems and structures. Since the manufacturing process uses the printing technology, the film can be produced in any color and transparency. The film can be applied to structural systems, windows, roofs, glass and effectively produce energy . Aeglis Hyposurface This interactive, dynamically reconfigurable 3D screen reacts in real time to surrounding motion and sound, transforming Hyposurfaces complex topography and colors. This project, which dECOi continues to research at MITs Media Lab , foreshadows fully kinetic and environmentally responsive architectural surfaces, sensitized to changes in climate or security needs .

Nanotechnonlogy in medicine

2.0 The use of nanotechnology in medicine:

The use of nanotechnology in medicine becomes more bigger than before ,like the design of micro-computers injected into the human body,and these computers are programmed accurately to specific operations, such as the discovery of any beginning of a transformation cancerous cells in the body, or delivery of drugs to eliminate these cells without injuring healthy cells and then decompose.

The applications of nanotechnology in medicine also supply the body with oxygen through the blood substitutes ,and there are devices manufactured nano-technology cause reform in case of hardening of the arteries and strokes of heart ,there are also devices that can clean the blood of free radicals and toxins that are lockek in the body ,and these radicals and toxins cause a lot of diseases.

2.2 The nano robot against bacteria and bodys diseases:

It was possible throug nanotecnology to make avery small telescope in the shape of disk that contain acamira ,and throug ingestion of this disc the telescope in the disk will move in the digestive system and will record or score any changes or shifts or tumors can not detected or be found by regular devices to treat it in eary stage ,also this disk can be afull lab that declare and examine all vital signs and health indicators within the body. Nanotechnology make avery important step in medicine ,it have been designed anano robot that can find bacterias in the human body and kill it .

2.3 Nanotechnology solve the proplem of humain brain:

And for the human brain and for it s diseases like aging ,memory loss and Alzheimer the nanotechnology will solve all of that as it will be planted in this human brain with very small chips that was made with the technology of nano ,and this small chips wiil provide the human brain with ahigh power and a lot of information that can not be compared with the human current brain ,also it will reform all the damaged nerves.

Entered into force nano-industry in a range of goods that use nano-particles

on the oxide forms "of aluminum and titanium and others." Especially in cosmetics and ointments anti-rays. These nano-particles of UV-blocking and UV all the ointment remains at the same time transparent and clothing used in some anti-spot. There is also a new material made of nano-particles are called section "Quasam" are added to plastics, ceramics, metals become strong as steel light Kalazam and will have many uses, especially in the structure of aircraft wings, they are anti-ice and heat resistant up to 900 degrees Celsius. We can buy a drink has no color or taste includes nano-particles to the color and taste when we put in on a specific frequency Almkroyev we have become the juice of a lemon and another frequency becomes the same as cider, and so on. Possible through technology nanotechnology making a spaceship the size of the atom can sail in the human body for surgery and out of without surgery, and can enter in the industries of the electromagnetic waves that are able to once contact with the body to hide it like a plane or car and then not see the radar and declares disappearance . As you can make a car the size of the insect and aircraft in the size of mosquito repellent glass for dust and non-conductor of heat and also manufacture fabrics that do not penetrate the water, despite the ease of exit from race. And was included in some programs that documentaries can be made 200 times more powerful cells from blood cells and you can inject the human body with 10% of these blood cells may enable him from the enemy for 15 minutes without breathing!! Are also water treatment and effluent from factories, by pumping through molecules Nanonah dust and bringing to the whereabouts of waste in order to demolish them and turn it into harmless substances by chemical reactions especially .
