Nanotechnology Materials for Environment Protection

Focus on materials challenges for protection - environment and health

Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa), Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] Environment, human health and safety (EHS) are ever more important topics for new applications of advanced and so-called ‘smart’ materials. Today our daily life is dependent on innovative material developments and new systems for sustainable applications, and this dependence will only...

Technology refers to the application of knowledge for human benefits. Nanotechnology has been defined as ‘the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications’[1]. Nanotechnology is unique in the sense that it enables us to observe, synthesize and manipulate things at the nanometer scale[2]. The word nano is derived ...
