5.  The term NANO is derived from the ancient Greek word
meaning dwarf: think everything phenomenally
small……..instruments, products, materials, atoms
 Nanomaterials & nanotechnologies are terms used by
engineers almost everywhere on account of recent major
advances in the materials science community:
Instrumentation / AFM, sol gel disposition / soft lithography
and so on
 These technologies are multidisciplinary, offering
opportunities in every business sector . They are
revolutionising how we manage our environment and
business processes and offer some truly compelling value for
organizations.

7. Where has it come from?
Nano materials have always been with us: the
building blocks of life = atoms & molecules.
What’s new: our ability to see and manipulate these
particles using:
 Advanced instrumentation
 Scanning Tunnelling Microscope (STM)
 Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM)
 Torsional Harmonic Cantilever (THC)
 Enabling Single molecule imaging, manipulation
and the entire chemical reaction in real-time

14.  Applications depend on materials and size of project
 One needs to first define the result required
 Most large applications require an electric atomiser
 Note the three types of coating functions:
 1. Hydrophobic ( water repelling…drops form beads….using Sio2 etc ( so easy cleaning,
less detergents, labour….
 2. Hydrophilic ( water attracting : drops flatten out) Tio2… the functions are opposite! (
the force of the water to the surface on impact removed dirt which then falls with gravity
and rain)
 3. Photocatalytic ( UV-induced reactions that cause decomposition of dirt
molecules….great for outside glass & concrete)
1, CLEAN- 2, Pre-CLEAN, 3,SPRAY, 4, POLISH
Polymerisation will take immediate effect,
within 24 hours

15.  Always wear mask
Spray in well
ventilated room or
outdoors if appropriate
 Wear rubber gloves
 Keep away from live
flame or sparks
and comply with all
application & safety
instructions provided
by manufacturer
Comply with
temperature warnings

16. Abrasion can remove coatings. Anti-bacterial charge can fail after 12 months.
Surface tension can be measured to determine fatigueless . Follow up cleaning of fatigued areas with
Isopropanol, pre-cleaner is recommended. New applications may be required annually depending on
materials and environment. Coatings generally are food safe.

17. Below Copy of email received for
ongoing hospital trial
Hi Dermott,
As you can see from the spreadsheet attached we have had some really good results from the test 24hrs after the
application, really impressive.
We will continue to test on a weekly basis for the next three weeks and I will forward the results to you as we gather
them.
Cheers
