NANOTECHNOLOGY

|
Nanotechnology is a science which has the ability to control the dimensions of materials on a nanometer scale and has demonstrated the impressive properties they acquire when their dimensions are only a few nanometers small. The prefix nano size corresponds to 10-9, which means one nanometer (nm) is one billion times smaller than one meter (m). So we use the term nano, ex. nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanospheres etc. when referring to particle size from about 1 to 200 nanometers. The interest of the global scientific community has turned to nanotech materials when through research they found that such materials have very different properties when forming nano-dimension particles instead of the familiar large particles that are visible to the naked eye or with a simple optical microscope. Products and applications that previously would have looked like science fiction are now here to make our daily lives at home, work, in the car, on the boat…a whole lot easier. Nanotechnology products specially designed to offer protection for your favorite fabrics, wooden surfaces, stainless steel, glass or plastic items, even your floors, tiles, car rims and the hull of your boat, all protected from stains, bacteria, water, humidity and all kept intact for a much longer time. The ultimate protection achieved with a simple application all while avoiding the use of harmful chemicals. |
