 FUTURE OF
NANOTECHNOLOGY
‡ The buckyball (C60) has
opened up a excellent field of
chemistry and material science
with many exciting applications
because of its ability to accept
electrons.

‡ New solar cells are based on

nanoparticles of semi
conductors, nanofilms and
nanotubes by embedding in a
charge transfer medium.
 FUTURE OF
NANOTECHNOLOGY

‡ Nanotechnology offers to
produce, magneto resistive
and anti-collision
automobile sensors.
‡ Nanotechnology is viewed
as a key technology for the
development of ultra light
materials
 CONCLUSION
 Even though nanotechnology has many applications it
has some risks behind it
 If we inhale nano-particles at the manufacturing stage
will posses health threats
 The detailed study should be made on particular
nanomaterials before using it
 Industries & government are conscious of this and
taking necessary steps in finding out nanoparticles that
causing hazards to the environment and how to make it
harmless
 If processed in safe manner, no doubt nanotechnology
will bring benefits to the society
