Abstract
Nanotechnology uses nanomaterials for human benefit. In this chapter I present the various nanomaterials such as liposomes, nanowires and carbon nanotubes. The next section describe nanotechnology research in biomedial, food, agriculture and environmental sciences. Then I present nanotechnology application in the oil, textile, food and cosmetic industry. Intellectual property rights are discussed in the last section.
