Nanocomposites, their Uses, and Applications – Advanced Materials 2019

A survey of the applications of nanocomposites:

The following survey of nanocomposite applications introduces you to many of the uses being explored, including:

Producing batteries with greater power output:

Researchers have developed a method to make anodes for lithium-ion batteries from a composite formed with silicon nanospheres and carbon nanoparticles. The anodes made of the silicon-carbon nanocomposite make closer contact with the lithium electrolyte, which allows faster charging or discharging of power.

Speeding up the healing process for broken bones:

Researchers have shown that growth of replacement bone is speeded up when a nanotube-polymer nanocomposite is placed as a kind of scaffold which guides the growth of replacement bone. The researchers are conducting studies to better understand how this nanocomposite increases bone growth.

Producing structural components with a high strength-to-weight ratio:

For example, an epoxy containing carbon nanotubes can be used to produce nanotube-polymer composite windmill blades. This results in a strong but lightweight blade, which makes longer windmill blades practical. These longer blades increase the amount of electricity generated by each windmill.

Using graphene to make composites with even higher strength-to-weight ratios:

Researchers have found that adding graphene to epoxy composites may result in stronger/stiffer components than epoxy composites using a similar weight of carbon nanotubes. Graphene appears to bond better to the polymers in the epoxy, allowing a more effective coupling of the graphene into the structure of the composite. This property could result in the manufacture of components with higher strength-to-weight ratios for such uses as windmill blades or aircraft components.

Making lightweight sensors with nanocomposites:

A polymer-nanotube nanocomposite conducts electricity; how well it conducts depends upon the spacing of the nanotubes. This property allows patches of polymer-nanotube nanocomposite to act as stress sensors on windmill blades. When strong wind gusts bend the blades the nanocomposite will also bend. Bending changes the nanocomposite sensor’s electrical conductance, causing an alarm to be sounded. This alarm would allow the windmill to be shut down before excessive damage occurs.

Using nanocomposites to make flexible batteries:

A nanocomposite of cellulous materials and nanotubes could be used to make a conductive paper. When this conductive paper is soaked in an electrolyte, a flexible battery is formed.

Making tumors easier to see and remove:

Researchers are attempting to join magnetic nanoparticles and fluorescent nanoparticles in a nanocomposite particle that is both magnetic and fluorescent. The magnetic property of the nanocomposite particle makes the tumor more visible during an MRI procedure done prior to surgery. The fluorescent property of the nanocomposite particle could help the surgeon to better see the tumor while operating.

Nanofabrication - Advanced Materials 2019

Nanofabrication is the design and manufacture of devices with dimensions measured in nanometres. One nanometer is 10 -9 meter, or a millionth of a millimeter.

Nanofabrication is of interest to computer engineers because it opens the door to super-high-density microprocessor s and memory chips. It has been suggested that each data bit could be stored in a single atom. Carrying this further, a single atom might even be able to represent a byte or word of data. Nanofabrication has also caught the attention of the medical industry, the military, and the aerospace industry.

There are several ways that nanofabrication might be done. One method involves scaling down integrated-circuit ( IC ) fabrication that has been standard since the 1970s, removing one atom at a time until the desired structure emerges. A more sophisticated hypothetical scheme involves the assembly of a chip atom-by-atom; this would resemble bricklaying. An extension of this is the notion that a chip might assemble itself atom-by-atom using programmable nanomachines. Finally, it has been suggested that a so-called biochip might be grown like a plant from a seed; the components would form by a process resembling cell division in living things.

Nanoparticle Applications in Manufacturing and Materials – Advanced Materials 2019

Ceramic silicon carbide nanoparticles dispersed in magnesium produce a strong, lightweight material.

A synthetic skin, that may be used in prosthetics, has been demonstrated with both self-healing capability and the ability to sense pressure. The material is a composite of nickel nanoparticles and a polymer. If the material is held together after a cut it seals together in about 30 minutes giving it a self-healing ability. Also, the electrical resistance of the material changes with pressure, giving it a sense ability like touch.

Silicate nanoparticles can be used to provide a barrier to gasses (for example oxygen), or moisture in a plastic film used for packaging. This could slow down the process of spoiling or drying out in food.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles can be dispersed in industrial coatings to protect wood, plastic, and textiles from exposure to UV rays.

Silicon dioxide crystalline nanoparticles can be used to fill gaps between carbon fibers, thereby strengthening tennis racquets.

Silver nanoparticles in a fabric are used to kill bacteria, making clothing odor-resistant.

Importance of Medical nanorobots

The most promising and futuristic product of cutting-edge nanotechnology will be the designing of nanorobots. Imagine thousands of nanorobots as sentinels patrolling our body day and night and fighting any foreign body that is likely to infect our body. We can start imagining a day when we no longer have to worry about visiting our doctor. Medical nanodevices would first be injected into a human body, and would then go to work in a specific organ or tissue mass. The doctor will monitor the progress, and make certain that the nanodevices have gotten to the correct target treatment region.

The typical size of a blood born medical nanorobot will be 0.5-3 micrometers as it is the maximum size that can be permitted due to the capillary passage requirement. Carbon would be the primary element used to build these nanorobots due to their inherent strength and other characteristics. These nanorobots would be fabricated in desktop nanofactories specialized for this purpose. The capacity to design, build, and deploy large numbers of medical nanorobots into the human body would make possible the rapid elimination of disease and the effective and relatively painless recovery from physical trauma. Medical nanorobots can be of great importance in an easy and accurate correction of genetic defects, and help to ensure a greatly expanded health span. More controversially, medical nanorobots might be used to enhance natural human capabilities. However, mechanical medical nanodevices would not be allowed to self-replicate inside the human body, nor would there be any need for self-replication or repair inside the human body since these nanobugs are manufactured exclusively in carefully regulated nanofactories with utmost precision.
