Welcome to Nanotech Paints. Nanotechnology is finding its way into all sorts of industries – the computer industry of course, and also the communications industry.
Brief Interruption.

But also how about the textile industry… A few days ago I spilled a bit of chocolate milkshake on my shirt as I was sitting at the computer. To my amazement – it went and rolled down my shirt without leaving a trace and landed on my expensive jeans – which also must have been treated with this new anti-stain coating. Nanotechnology is making these coatings so good, that soon dirt will be impervious to clothing.
How about paint? I’m sure that there is nanotech paint available now – but just consider the disruption to the status quo if you could not paint once and that is it for that particular surface for your lifetime. I am also thinking about resurfacing roads… I’m sure the labs have road material that will not wear… but again – think of all the jobs that would be lost if it were not for road repair…
Granted there is not much on the internet today about nanotechnology and paint – but expect this to become a topic – especially as clothing is now becoming much more indestructible and stain-resistant.
Thanks for visiting Nanotech Paints.

Is Nanotechnology Totally Useless According to You?

Is Nanotechnology Totally Useless According to You?
Nanotechnology is the science and art of constructing functional and sometimes powerful devices by manipulating single atoms until they are molecularly sized. In order to achieve some relativity on this, one must be aware that a molecule is measured in nanometers, which is, essentially, one billionth of a meter – an atom is ten times smaller than that.
As a revolutionary concept, nanotechnology covers a wide spectrum that can often be a double edged sword. In the right hands, the extreme capability of nanotechnology can be a positive contributor to medical advancements, environmental cleansing, energy conservation and many other areas that can largely improve human existence on our planet. The down side to nanotechnology is that in the wrong hands it can be a destructive force that may ultimately lead to the annihilation of human existence and even of our planet.
There are varying schools of thought on the benefits versus the threats of nanotechnology pursuits. One outlook is that replicating nanostructures could gobble up the entire planet in about three hours flat while another is that nanotechnology as a science could revolutionize medical treatments for conditions that are presently incurable using standard technology.
Nanotechnology has been credited with many beneficial improvements to existing products like fabrics that totally resist staining, scratch resistant eyewear and sunscreen that can endure greater exposure to the elements for longer periods of time. In addition, creating smaller, more powerful devices via this technology has been a positive contributor to revolutionary advancements in computers, more improved diagnostic medical testing and more efficient means of removing toxicity from areas afflicted with environment contamination. Anyone would have to agree that these advantages are certainly not totally useless attributes of nanotechnology.
Additionally, nanotechnology has been credited with creations from a biodegradable plastic made from waste products produced from fruit growing operations to experimental replacement bone tissue that will not be so easily rejected by the human body after transplant. The advantage of such a product will result in easing human suffering while actually contributing to an extended life span. Anybody wanting to improve on humanity would be hard pressed to declare breakthroughs like this as totally useless.
Despite its propensity to do good, nanotechnology could also lead to the creation of more compact and essentially more dangerous weaponry, which, if it fell into the wrong hands could lead to the development of chemical and biological weapons that are far more deadly, harder to avoid and much easier to conceal than conventional warfare.
Naysayers are quick to point out additional negativities of nanotechnology such as the ability of the military or other covert

Question by ♣♠The Boss♠♣: Is it possible to do postgraduation in nanotechnology after an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering?
I read in wikipedia that “At the smallest scales, mechanical engineering becomes nanotechnology…”. So, can I study Mechanical Engineering and then go in for nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is my main interest. If there are other undergraduate courses after which I can do postgraduation in nanotechnology, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

Answer by energeticthinker
I believe that you need to get a ‘graduate’ degree before you can do postgraduate work.
Check out the Materials Engineering programs at colleges/universities that you might be interested in attending graduate school at.
Check out the research activities of the Materials Engineering professors. (This should be listed on the department’s website). Find one (or more) professors in that department that seem to be working on nanotech. Contact them to find out more about your chances of doing such research as a grad (or postgrad) student/researcher.
Good luck.
