Evaluation of impact and developments of nanotechnology
Evaluation of impacts and developments of nanotechnology
During the past quarter of century nanotechnology is one of most commonly known and developing science in the world. Sobolev (2005 p. 14) asserts that nanotechnology is the next industrial revolutionary science, which leads physics, chemistry and biology scientist to control and manipulate matter at extremely small scale, even at the level of molecules and atoms. Sahoo (2006 p. 21) defines nanotechnology as a science of manipulation, characterization and fabrication of materials, devices and structures, which have at least one dimension, that is roughly 1-100 nm. When sizes of particles of different components are reduced below this threshold the material obtained exhibit chemical and physical properties that are significantly different compared with macroscale materials composed of the same materials. This essay will investigate and evaluate the societal effects and future scientific implementations for development of nanotechnology, followed by economical impacts and issues with it.
Scientists and industry stakeholders have determined potential applications of nanotechnology in different segments of industry. to Duncan (2011), several observations indicate that food industry is one of the most common applications of NT. Notwithstanding the fact that it is utilized in agriculture in order to provide soil with pesticide, fertilizer and vaccine, and detect plant and animal pathogen, also apply engineering principles for genetics of crops, the most frequent implication of nanotechnology in food nanoscience research and development is packaging. For instance, pathogen, gas or abuse sensors, anticounterfeiting devices, UV protection and more retentive polymer films were used for packaging, thus, the storage of food becomes innocuous because food is better protected from dirt and dust, oxygen, pathogenic microorganisms, light and variety of other harmful and destructive substances.
