  • We are using nanotechnology products in our daily life. Nanotechnology is used in the manufacture of the number of products that we are used in our daily life.
  • Nanotechnology products are used in metals, polymers, ceramics, and biomaterials. Nanotechnology is used in the production of high-tech materials or microscopic devices.
  • Nanotechnology is used in the manufacture of clothes, sunglasses, cosmetics, etc. Silver nanoparticles are used in food packaging and household appliances.
  • Nanosize components are used in DVD and CD players.
  • In future nanotechnology might be used in developing new medicines and pharmaceuticals.
 
OP: What country are you planning to study in? US?
