THIS IS A NANOTECHNOLOGY PRESENTATION.pptx

This is about a very tiny technology that can do amazing things.

1. NANOTECHNOLOGY Refers to scientific study and utilization of very small structures whose size ranges between 1 nanometer(nm) up to 100 nanometers. The term “nano” originated from the Greek the word nanos which means dwarf.

2. VARIOUS FIELD OF STUDIES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO NANOTECHNOLOGY Material science Molecular physics Chemistry Biology Computer science Electrical science Mechanical engineering

3. Unique features of nanoscale Nanotechnology involves operating at a very small dimension and it allows scientist to make use of the exceptional optical, chemical, physical, mechanical, and biological qualities of materials of that small scale.

4. SCALE AT WHICH BIOLOGY OCCURS SCALE AT WHICH QUAMTUM EFFECTS DOMINATE PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS SCALE AT WHICH SURFACE AND INTERFACES PLAY A LARGE ROLE IN MATERIALS PROPERTIES AND INTERACTIONS Unique features of nanoscale

5. Nanotechnology in the PHILIPPINES The Philippine Council for Advance Science and Technology Research and Development, the Department of Science and Technology developed a roadmap for the goals and future of nanotechnology in the country. There are currently few Filipino experts working on nanotechnology development who have successfully integrated it in biotechnology and material science.

6. DOST priority projects: Electronics Agriculture Food processing Energy Medicine Environment

7. PRODUCTS OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN THE PHILIPPINES Nanosilica -based fertilizer Fruitect coating technology Nano-encapsulated plant growth regulators
