Nanoscience and nanotechnology involve studying and working with matter on an ultra-small scale. It is the study of the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. It deals with structures of the size of 100 nanometers or smaller and involves developing materials or device s within that size.
The application of nanoscience in a number of different harmless consumer products is seen widely.
Sunscreens utilize nanoparticles zinc oxide.
Clay nanoparticles have made their way into composite materials, where they offer transparency and increased strength.
Anti-aging skin creams developed with nanoparticles.
Nanoparticles are used in antiseptics.
As abrasives in paints.
Coatings for spectacles making them scratch-proof and unbreakable.
Self-cleaning coating for windows.
Scratch-proof tiles.
Anti-graffiti coatings for walls.
For improved ski waxes.
