Uses of Nanoparticles
- Stronger, lighter building materials
- New cosmetics (deodorant) as they don't leave white marks on skin
- Lubricant coatings - reducing friction eg. artificial joints, gears...
- They're conductors - electrical circuits for computer chips
- Industrial catalysts - huge SA to volume ratio
- Sensors to detect one type of molecule and nothing else (eg.
water purity sensors)
- Delivering drugs right to the cells where they're needed
- Silver nanoparticles can kill bacteria
