Uses of
nanoparticles
- Uses of nanoparticles is known as nanoscience. Many
new uses of nanoparticles are being developed.
- They have a huge surface area to volume ratio, so
they could help make new industrial catalysts.
- You can use nanoparticles to make sensors to detect
one type of molecule and nothing else. These highly
specific sensors are being used to test water purity.
- Nanotubes can be used to make
stronger, lighter building materials.
- New cosmetics e.g sun cream and deodorant have
been made using nanoparticles. The small particles
do the job but don't leave white marks on the skin.
- Noanomedicine is a hot topic. The idea is that tiny fullerenes
are absorbed more easily by the body than most particles.
- This means that they could deliver drugs
right to the cells where they're needed.
- This means that they could deliver drugs
right to the cells where they're needed.
- New lubricant coatings are being developed using fullerens.
These coatings reduce frictions a bit like ball bearings and
could be used for things like artificial joints and gears.
- Nanotubes conduct electricity, so they can be
used in tiny electrical circuits for computer chips.
