  1. Carbon Nanotubes 2 • 100 time stronger than steel and very flexible • If added to materials like car bumpers, increases strength and flexibility Model of a carbon nanotube Source: http://www.library.utoronto.ca/engineering-computer-science/news_bulletin/images/nanotube.jpeg

  2. Materials: Paint That Doesn’t Chip • Protective nanopaint for cars • Water and dirt repellent • Resistant to chipping and scratches • Brighter colors, enhanced gloss • In the future, could change color and self-repair? Mercedes covered with tougher, shinier nanopaint Sources: http://www.supanet.com/motoring/testdrives/news/40923/

  3. Materials: Stain Resistant Clothes • Nanofibers create cushion of air around fabric • 10 nm carbon whiskers bond with cotton • Acts like peach fuzz; many liquids roll off Nano pants that refuse to stain; Liquids bead up and roll off Nano-Care fabrics with water, cranberry juice, vegetable oil, and mustard after 30 minutes (left) and wiped off with wet paper towel (right) Sources: http://www.sciencentral.com/articles/view.php3?article_id=218391840&cat=3_5 http://mrsec.wisc.edu/Edetc/IPSE/educators/activities/nanoTex.html

  4. Environment: Paint That Cleans Air • Nanopaint on buildings could reduce pollution • When exposed to ultraviolet light, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles in paint break down organic and inorganic pollutants that wash off in the rain • Decompose air pollution particles like formaldehyde Buildings as air purifiers?

  7. Nanotechnology Agriculture

  8. Technology: A DVD That Could Hold a Million Movies • Current CD and DVD media have storage scale in micrometers • New nanomedia (made when gold self-assembles into strips on silicon) has a storage scale in nanometers • That is 1,000 times more storage along each dimension (length, width)… …or 1,000,000 times greater storage density in total!
