I know that lots of academic researches have been done on the properties of rubber compounds containing nano-materials. I want to know if any of them has been used in industrial scale.
The nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are among nanoscale materials and industrial wastewaters has the potential to induce pernicious effects on antiviral properties of ZnO micro- and nanostructures against HSV-2. ... ZnO-NPs can be used in infrared and chemical sensors, in the manufacture of rubber.. Nanochemistry is associated with synthesis of building blocks which are dependent on size, surface, shape and defect properties. Nanochemistry is being used in chemical, materials and physical, science as well as engineering, biological and medical applications.
One application of nanotechnology in medicine currently being developed involves employing nanoparticles to deliver drugs, heat, light or other substances to specific types of cells, such as cancer cells. ... This technique reduces damage to healthy cells in the body and allows for earlier detection of disease..
