Nanotechnology in Green Chemistry- A study

Nanotechnologies as well as Nano scale technologies refer to the broad range of research and applications whose common trait is size. Nanotechnology may be able to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production. One nanometre (nm) is one billionth, or 10−9, of a meter which means nanometre to a meter is the same as that of a marble to the size of the earth. Green chemistry, also called sustainable chemistry encourages the design of products and processes which minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances. In this article the applications of Nanotechnology in different fields are summarized that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of toxic materials and also the synthesis of Nano material and their uses are discussed. However the people’s opinion about Nanotechnology throughout the world differs regarding its safe sustainability in future.
