Nanotechnology is the science which studies the matter on the atomic scale . Nano is 10^-9 of the unit , and for nanotechnology , scientists deal with length and volume . (Fig 1-0) . These things are generally minute with dimensions less than 100 nanometer (nm) and can be useful by itself or as part of larger devices containing multiple objects minutes . At nano level , we find that the physical properties and chemical and biological differ materially from material in the normal state and at the macro level , which makes us get new properties of the elements that we know . Nanotechnolgy discovery comes at time the world needs a real revolution in some fields and a real development in tools used to deal with problems . Here are some examples about the reasons of discovery of nanotechnology : - In medicine there were a lot of diseases and problems that weren't cured and solved as cancer , Neuro-electronic interfaces , surgery . . . . etc . - The increase use of energy in various fields , Nanotechnology came to find ways to reduce energy use and increase efficiency and help in using ways more environmental . - In agriculture field , nanotechnology has the ability to change the system of agriculture and food production chain , from the production process and to the process of conservation , processing and transport packaging finishing by waste treatment . -People are used to living with entertainmaints and seeking to find th easiest ways of building and in architecture . In our report , we are going to talk about the use of nanotechnology in architecture , medicine , industry and the nanotechnology future .
anotechnology ,the ability to manipulate matter at the scale of less than one billionth of a meter, has the potential to transform the built environment in ways almost unimaginable today. Nanotechnology is already employed in the manufacture of everyday items from sunscreen to clothing, and its introduction to architecture is not far behind. On the near horizon, it may take building enclosure materials (coatings ,panels and insulation) to dramatic new levels of performance in terms of energy, light, security and intelligence. Even these first steps into the world of nanotechnology could dramatically alter the nature of building enclosure and the way our buildings relate to environment and user. At mid-horizon, the development of carbon nanotubes and other breakthrough materials could radically alter building design and performance. The entire distinction between structure and skin, for example, could disappear as ultralight, super-strong materials functioning as both structural skeleton and enclosing skin are developed. Applications heat absorbing windows Heat absorbing windows, manufactured by Vanceva, offer solar performance superior to that of previously available laminating systems. Alone, or when combined with solar management glass, this new glazing interlayer provides the architectural marketplace with new, cost effective options to control heat and energy loads in buildings . By selectively reducing the transmittance of solar energy relative to visible light , these solar performance interlayers produce glazing systems that can result in savings in the capital cost of energy control equipment as well as operating costs of climate control equipment. Benefits:
Energy efficiency Keeps solar heat out of a building while maintaining optimal visible light transmission, facilitating lower capital expenditures on energy control equipment and lower operating costs of equipment Safety and security When subjected to accidental impact, the glass and solar interlayer combine to absorb the force of the impact. Should the force be sufficient to break the glass, the resulting fragments tend to remain adhered to the solar interlayer. Ultraviolet protection The solar interlayer blocks up to 99% of the sun's UV rays while allowing the important visible light to pass through. Design versatility Architectural laminated glass, made with solar interlayer, can be used in curtain walls, windows, doors, skylights, shop fronts, and virtually any other application imaginable. Energy Coating Similar to the way a plant absorbs sunlight and turns it into chemical energy to fuel the growth of a plant, energy coatings absorb sunlight and indoor light and convert them into electrical energy. Energy coatings are produced by working on the nano scale by injecting a dye into titanium dioxide, a white pigment commonly used in toothpaste and paint. The dye, applied to a flexible material, absorbs energy from both the sun and indoor light. This light energy travels through the titanium dioxide and a series of electrodes and is converted into electrical energy . Konarka, the major producer of energy coatings, develops and manufactures power plastic that is inexpensive ,lightweight, flexible and versatile. The light-activated power plastic film can be embedded within devices, systems and structures. Since the manufacturing process uses the printing technology, the film can be produced in any color and transparency. The film can be applied to structural systems, windows, roofs, glass and effectively produce energy . Aeglis Hyposurface This interactive, dynamically reconfigurable 3D screen reacts in real time to surrounding motion and sound, transforming Hyposurfaces complex topography and colors. This project, which dECOi continues to research at MITs Media Lab , foreshadows fully kinetic and environmentally responsive architectural surfaces, sensitized to changes in climate or security needs .
Nanotechnonlogy in medicine
The applications of nanotechnology in medicine also supply the body with oxygen through the blood substitutes ,and there are devices manufactured nano-technology cause reform in case of hardening of the arteries and strokes of heart ,there are also devices that can clean the blood of free radicals and toxins that are lockek in the body ,and these radicals and toxins cause a lot of diseases.
