This document discusses various applications of nanotechnology in different fields such as biomedical, cosmetics, sports, entertainment, and armed forces. It provides examples of how nanoparticles can be used to develop ingestible medical devices, improve battery performance, create lighter body armor, deliver nutrients through the skin, and aid athletes. The document also notes some concerns regarding risks of nanotechnology in areas like armed forces but highlights benefits like developing artificial organs with less rejection and no donor list. Overall, the document outlines current and potential future uses of nanotechnology across diverse industries.

the body. [Image from MIT]
How is the Hydrogel polymer
broken down by and ingestible LED
light better that endoscopic surgery?
● The light is passed through the
bowel and no cutting is
necessary
● The break down does not have
symptom such as pain
● No bodily harm is commented
thus, recovery time is
nonexistent.

8. Nanotechnology in the Armed forces

9. • Nanotechnology in the armed forces is
a branch of nano-science that deals with
designing, producing, and creating
molecular systems at nano-level (1-100
nm). The advancement in this field has
led to the development of nano-
weapons such as small robots,
electromagnetic materials, body armor,
explosives and so on. But with the rapid
growth, many implications of associated
risks, such as global security, safety of
society, and the environment.
Overview:
Nanoparticles could be used in body
armor like this to make it lighter,
more flexible and more effective.

10. These semiconducting chips
could be used in several things:
● Storing huge data and info
● Body armor for sensing
incoming attack
● Acting as sensors, capacitors,
resistors, and so on
Microchip
technology
● Microchip is a tiny semiconducting
material which is used to make
circuits in computers, devices, and
so on.

11. Charged batteries….
● Batteries are devices that store electrical
energy by converting it to chemical energy,
to be released slowly at a later time.
● The main drivers for research in battery
technology are to find materials suitable
for use as electrodes with as high a surface
area as possible. This allows charge to flow
more freely, resulting in higher capacity
and shorter charge/discharge cycles.
● Electrodes could be Carbon-coated silicon
nanowires, Carbon nanotubes, LiMn2O4
or LiCo2O4 nanoparticles.
● Electrolytes such as Al2O3, SiO2, or ZrO2
nanoparticles are added to solid polymer
gel could significantly enhance the
conductivity and storage capacity of the
electrolyte.
Nanoparticle matrices in battery
electrodes can drastically
increase their ability to store
lithium ions, increasing the
storage density of the battery.

artificial organs

13. Nanotechnology in
Cosemetics

14. Cosmetic and Skin
Care Applications
● Sunscreen that uses zinc oxide nanoparticles to block ultraviolet rays
while minimizing the white coating on the skin.
● Sunscreen that uses nanoparticles generated by ivy plants. Research has
shown that these ivy nanoparticles are more effective than oxide
nanoparticles in blocking ultraviolet rays.

15. ● Skin care lotions in which nutrients are encapsulated in
nanoparticles suspended in an liquid, making up a nanoemulsion.
The small size of the nanoparticles, compared to particles in
conventional emulsions, allows the nanoparticles to penetrate
deeper into the skin, delivering the nutrients to more layers of skin
cells.
● Lotions that use nanoparticles called ethosomes to deliver
nutrients that promote hair growth.
● Skin creams that uses proteins derived from stem cells to prevent
aging of the skin. These proteins are encapsulated in liposome
nanoparticles which merge with the membranes of skin cells to
allow delivery of the proteins.

16. Nanotechnology in
Entertainment
Artificial intelligence combined with Bioinformatics and Nano-technology is used by Bio artists seeking to
surpass the orthodox artistic medium with biological materials, bioreactors, bio-imaging techniques, and
opportunities to use their body as a canvas
Modern artists that have integrated within the biological sciences have incorporated laboratory components
into their artistic process.
Bio Art is a systematic tool useful in creating projects such as: use and transplant of mechanical devices in
humans and robot-clones genesis.
Bio Art uses life experience, living things, and the human body as a medium and as the personified objects’
expression.
The field requires competency of the research process and recurrent collaboration between the artists and
scientists. Bio artists are obligated to communicate scientific knowledge to consumers in a such a way that
is generally understood and accepted.

Transgenic art form is based on the use of
genetic engineering techniques to transfer
synthetic genes to an organism or to transfer
natural genetic material from one species into
another, to create unique living beings.

19. Nanotechnology in
Sports

20. ● Nanotechnology can be used to make gear that aids the athlete,
allowing them to be more comfortable, agile, and most importantly: safe.
● Such materials that are made implementing nanotechnology are called
nanomaterials and among them are carbon nanotubes (CNTs), silica
nanoparticles (SNPs), and nanoclays fullerenes. Each of these is being
used in certain sports gear and they each serve a different purpose in
order to increase the efficiency of the athlete.

21. Benefits of CNTs
Not only do CNTs have the benefit of making the gear
lightweight, but they are also immensely strong. They are
“100 times stronger but 6 times lighter than steel and as stiff
as diamond”. This combination is extremely important for
these sports because an athlete does not have to compromise
the strength and power of their tool for it to be lightweight. In
essence, it maximizes both aspects which definitely helps in
the actual game.
