Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology
The terms Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology refer to a scientific field whose theme is the control and change
of matter on an atomic and molecular scale.
There has been much debate on the future implications of nanomaterials and nanotechnology.
Thisfield of scientific and technical innovation has the potential to create advanced materials and devices with
wide ranging applications.
Nanomaterials and nanotechnology are already transforming our understanding of medicine, electronics, and
energy production.
Considering the ongoing development of nanomaterials and nanotechnology write an essay that:
1. Outlines what nanomaterials and nanotechnology are and explain why this field of scientific and
technological innovation has grown rapidly
2. Explains how the application of specialised Nanomaterials and nanotechnology have been applied
to address specific problems or issues, for example: The use of silver nanoparticles in socks to
inhibit the growth of bacteria and stop the socks becoming smelly.
3. Discusses and evaluates the implications of using nanomaterials and nanotechnology. There is
growing concern that products with nanomaterials are being introduced before these effects have
been fully investigated.
4. List your references.
5. The essay should be at least 800 words font 12.
6. Plagiarism is not accepted, make sure to use your own words.
