Where is nano?

Developments in nanotechnology have already found entrance in various areas. Classical nanoapplications are found e.g. in tires and catalysts. From discovery of special nanoeffects up to the widespread industrial implementation up to 15 years can pass. The table on the left shows selected examples from various branches.

Nanotechnology has found entrance in quite a few consumer products for our everyday life: from food packaging, textiles (easy-to-clean, antimicrobial), sun lotions, sports equipments like tennis rackets up to effective filters for water cleaning.
