Nanotechnology is a new high-end technology



Nanotechnology is a new high-end technology, based on natural processes. The minute size of the nanoparticles or nanostructure is one of the primary reasons for their unique characteristics. The application of nanoparticles increases the overall surface area. Consequently, nanostructures have extremely large surfaces, a fact which significantly impacts their properties. Therefore, nanostructures are extremely minute in terms of their dimensions, whereby their surface properties play a very important role by comparison with the material volume properties involved. The unique characteristics of these tiny structures are determined not only by the type of source material, but also, and in particular, by the form and size of the nanobionic structures and the ways in which they are produced and applied. The nanobionic structures must also form a chemical and molecular bond with the surrounding material.

Nanobionic treatment of a surface causes water to pearl. The roll-off angle of the droplets is so high as to automatically increase the self-cleaning, dirt and water repellent effects on the treated surface.
