Nanoparticles
What they are: Tiny particles with dimensions measured in nanometers.
What they do:
-
Enhance material properties: Due to their high surface-area-to-volume ratio, nanoparticles can significantly improve strength, reactivity, electrical conductivity, or thermal stability.
-
Act as carriers: In medicine, nanoparticles are used to deliver drugs directly to targeted cells (e.g., cancer cells), minimizing side effects.
-
Enable new technologies: Used in sensors, batteries, solar cells, and electronics for increased performance or miniaturization.
-
Provide antimicrobial properties: Silver nanoparticles, for example, can destroy bacteria by disrupting their membranes or DNA.
Nanocoatings
What they are: Thin films or layers of material applied to a surface, typically only a few nanometers to micrometers thick.
What they do:
-
Protect surfaces: Offer resistance to corrosion, scratches, UV light, and chemicals.
-
Modify surface properties: Make surfaces hydrophobic (water-repellent), oleophobic (oil-repellent), or anti-reflective.
-
Improve cleanliness and durability: Used in self-cleaning windows, anti-fingerprint screens, and anti-bacterial coatings.
-
Enhance performance: Used in textiles, automotive parts, and medical implants to improve function and longevity.
