Do you like this story?
According to a report in Science Daily, new nanotechnology consumer products are coming on the market at the rate of 3-4 per week. The use of nanotechnology in consumer products and industrial applications is growing rapidly. Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies (PEN) launched the world's first online inventory of manufacturer-identified nanotech goods. More than 600 products are now in the inventory. Nanoscale silver is the most cited nanomaterial used. Carbon including carbon nanotubes and fullerenes is the second highest nanoscale material cited. Other nanoscale materials explicitly referenced in products are zinc (including zinc oxide) and titanium (including titanium dioxide), silica and gold. Here are few of the products:
Degreaser, floor/glass/mirror cleaner, anti odour socks, golf shaft, acnel lotion, wound dressing, adhesives, surface protection oil, dryer, air purifier/sanitiser, pencil, photocatalyst, sun care materials, aluminium foil/powder, computer processor, nano silver gold infused curling iron, antibacterial medicine, ceramic, kitchenware, lock, make up kit, pet products, table ware, wrist watch chain, water tap, sun screen, filter catridge, nutrition product, moisture care set, baby carriage, tennis racket, bath and sports towels, face series make up materials, beer bottle, exterior/kitchen/bath room paint, shoe pad, toy, short, container for food, pant, cosmetic, emulsion, canola oil, luggage line, dew filter, wind shield, fog elimator, display cleaner and refresher, shoe locker, foil shaver, sports hygene products, skin care cream, colloidal silver liquid/solution, tire, pillow for back/nech support, womens pant, cordless LED light, Ice axe, beauty soap, whitening mask, cultured diamonds, refrigerator component, vacuum cleaner parts, heal cushion, washing machine parts, golf pants/shorts, body suits, anti corrosive paint, hearing aid, power tool set, ultrasonic fruit and vegetable cleaner, upholstery coating, laptops and flash drives, automobine components and a host of others.
