NANO-TECHNOLOGY
R Nanotechnology, is the study of the controlling of
matter on an atomic and molecular scale.
R Generally nanotechnology deals with structures
sized between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one
dimension, and involves developing materials or
devices within that size.
R One nanometer (nm) is one billionth, or 10ï9, of a
meter.
NOVEL MATERIALS
R Novel materials are derived from nanomaterials.
R Nanomaterials exhibiting unique/novel
properties when compared to their parent
materials are called Novel Materials.
R Novel Materials can be defined as ´combing two
or more nanomaterials to get a completely new
material, which did not exist earlier and to derive
benefits from those materialsµ.
R The properties of a novel material can arise from
two key factors: first, the chemical composition of
the material and second, its physical size and
shape.
CLASSIFICATION OF NOVEL MATERIALS
R   !": Materials whose
existing properties are enhanced or made more
accessible or useable.
R
!  !"# Materials that are
not an extension or evolution of familiar or
conventional materials, but are distinct materials
in their own right.
R $  !": Composite materials
where a combination of two or more components
leads to unexpected or unconventional properties.
APPLICATIONS AND USES OF
NOVEL MATERIALS
R Novel materials include a wide range of
industrial products such as polymers, ceramics,
glasses, liquid crystals, composite materials,
nanoparticles, nanotubes and colloidal materials.
In turn, these kinds of materials may be used in
a wide range of applications including energy
generation and storage, engineering and
construction, electronics and display
technologies, food packaging, and environmental
and biomedical applications.
APPLICATIONS AND USES OF
NOVEL MATERIALS
R Nanotechnologies and nanomaterials have the potential to be
developed and used widely through nearly all sectors of life,
including communications, health, housing, energy, food and
transport.
R A few examples of nanomaterial products used in the automotive
industry.
MARKET FOR NOVEL MATERIALS
R The nanomaterials market is growing rapidly.
Over 600 products self-identified as containing
nanomaterials currently available in the global
market place. The products of nanotechnology
can be found in paints, fuel cells, batteries, fuel
additives, catalysts, transistors, lasers and
lighting, lubricants, integrated circuitry, medical
implants, water purifying agents, self-cleaning
windows, sunscreens and cosmetics, explosives,
disinfectants, abrasives and food additives.
