Industrial Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is impacting the arena of consumer goods, several products that integrate nanomaterials are already in a variety of items; many of which people do not even realize contain nanoparticles, products with fresh functions ranging from easy-to-clean to scratch-resistant. Samples of that car bumpers are made lighter, clothing is more stain repellant, sun cream is more energy resistant, synthetic bones are stronger, cell phone screens are lighter weight. Nanotechnology applications are currently being researched, tested and in some cases already applied across the entire spectrum of food technology, from agriculture to food processing, packaging and food supplements. In our special Food Nanotechnology section we have prepared an overview of this area
