Low maintenance nanotechnology treatments can be created using nature as a template. Nanoparticles from natural sources like volcanoes and sea spray are only 1-100 nanometers in size. These nanoparticles can self-assemble into meshes only one particle thick, mimicking the self-cleaning surface of lotus leaves. Applying these nanoparticle treatments creates hydrophobic, self-cleaning surfaces on products that require less cleaning and save on water, chemicals, and maintenance costs.
Here at SEA-SHIELD® we strive to provide products that meet and/or exceed the needs and expectations of crew. SEA-SHIELD® was developed by yacht crew for yacht crew. We know the demands and routines of the crew from the unpredictable nature of yachting itineraries to the never ending maintenance of the yacht exterior, tenders and toys. There is enough to do on a yacht besides having to polish the stainless every two weeks or polish the hull to remove exhaust every time the boat is used or apply wax every month (which never happens, since there is never enough time to do that in the first place). Crew need products that work fast, provide noticeable results, are easy to use and ultimately save time on maintenance so that they can focus on the more important parts of the job such as service to the owner and guests, operating the vessel and training.
SEA-SHIELD® has earned a well-deserved reputation in the world of mega yachts due to its remarkable ability to not only protect and extend the life of yacht paint and other exterior finishes, but to add an amazing mirror-like shine that makes yachts look brand new.
The Sea-Shield product line focuses on providing boat cleaning and care products that clean faster, polish better, and protect longer than competitors. Their products include boat soaps, surface cleaners and prep products, rust and stain removers, mildew eliminators, compounds, polishes and waxes. The catalog describes these products and their benefits for cleaning, restoring and protecting boat surfaces like gelcoat, paint, metal, glass and other materials. Sea-Shield aims to help customers spend less time maintaining their boats.

Cistermiser Water Efficient Washroom Controls - Specification Catalogue 2013 Thorne & Derrick UK
This case study describes how Cistermiser products were installed at Cathays High School in Cardiff to address student concerns about unhygienic toilet conditions. Cistermiser's easyflush WC flush valves with "walkaway" activation were selected, as they automatically flush toilets when users stand up or leave, eliminating the need to manually flush. A trial installation in boys' cubicles was successful, providing cleaner toilets and a more hygienic environment with minimal water use. The school appreciated Cistermiser's cooperation throughout the project.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

The document discusses nanotechnology and nanocoatings. It begins by defining nanotechnology as the manipulation of structures at the nanoscale, which is one billionth of a meter. It then discusses how nanocoatings work by having nanoparticles self-organize to form an invisible protective barrier on surfaces. The document provides examples of applications for nanocoatings in industries like automotive, glass, wood, metal, solar panels, and textiles. It predicts rapid growth in the nanotechnology market and notes potential benefits for consumers and businesses in using nanocoatings.

Natural nanomaterials are materials found in nature that exhibit properties arising from their inherent nanostructures, without human modification. The document discusses several examples of natural nanomaterials inspired by nature, including the self-cleaning properties of lotus leaves due to wax crystals and bumps creating a superhydrophobic surface, the adhesive abilities of gecko feet enabled by setae and spatulae, and the structural coloration of butterfly wings arising from the interaction of light with the nanostructures of wing scales. These natural nanomaterials provide models for developing new biomimetic materials with applications in coatings, adhesives, and other technologies.

All materials can in principle be described at the nanoscale.
By natural nanomaterials here we maen that materials belong to the natural world (animals and mineral) without human modification or processing, and that have remarkable properties because of their inherent nanostructure.
Nano particles are extremely small particles that are now being used in many products including sunscreen. There is ongoing research about whether nano particles in sunscreen are safe. While nano particles help sunscreen go on clear rather than white, some studies show they may penetrate the skin and cause harm. Alternative natural nano particles from ivy are being researched as potentially safer options. Overall, the risks of nano particles in sunscreen are still being evaluated.

1. Low Maintenance Nanotechnology Treatments
What is Nanotechnology?
To explain Nanotechnology we have to start at the size we are talking about.
We all know by now that Nano is a Greek word and means dwarf. It does not mean we are dealing with dwarfs but it be-
came a common word for everything which is smaller than 1 Micron or 1 millions of a millimeter. 1 Micron is 1000
Nanometer. A human hair is about 50,000 - 100,000 nanometers across.
1 Nanometer is about 10 - 15 atoms next to each other.
If a nanometer were somehow magnified to appear as long as the nose on your face, then a red blood cell would appear
the size of the Empire State Building, a human hair would be about 20 kilometers wide, one of your fingers would span
the continental United States, and a normal person would be about as tall as six or seven planet Earths piled atop one an-
other. Pretty small things in fact.
Nature made nano materials a long time before mankind started making them on purpose. There are lots of natural sources
of nano materials. They are all around us. Enzymes and viruses are all in the nanosphere.
There are natural and anthropogenic processes that release nanoparticles into the atmosphere. Natural sources include vol-
canic activity, natural fires, chemical reactions in the atmosphere, or sea spray leading to salt particles.
Mother Nature knows best! To transform these Nanoparticles into useful products, Nanotechnology companies
are looking at Mother Nature. Copying the ideas of others is usually frowned upon, but when it comes to the work of
Mother Nature, scientists are finding they can use nature as a template.
Nature is skilled at fabricating organic structures at the nano scale. Best and most known example of a self cleaning sur-
face is the so called Lotus effect.
Lotus leaves in particular have the unique ability to avoid getting dirty.
(Discovered by Botanists Wilhelm Barthlott and Christoph Neinhuis from the University of Bonn in Germany)
Lotus blossoms (the easiest to clean) are coated with tiny hydrophobic particles. When water contacts these particles, it
does not wet the leaves. Instead, it simply rolls off, taking with it any dirt in its path.
To transfer the Lotus-Effect into coatings, it is necessary to create a hydrophobic surface with very low surface tension,
along with the appropriate nano-structure.
The nano particles have self-assembly properties. The particles self-assemble into a very tiny nanoscopic mesh which cov-
ers the surface of the substrate. Due to the technology it is possible to create mono layer treatments, only one nanoparticle
thick!
Utilizing this technology, it is possible to create products and substrate properties with new and unseen smart surfaces.
Environmental Benefits: Surface treatments can significant reduce the use of chemical cleaners and save
water and maintenance costs. Less cleaning cycles on a Yacht means also less risk of contamination on Harbors
and Bays. While exposed surfaces still need cleaning the cleaning frequency can be expanded.
