    Activity Sheet On Nanotechnology: PART 1 Key Terms and Ideas

    Uploaded by

    Ro-Anne Felipe Sanchez
    Nanotechnology involves the study and manipulation of matter at the nanoscale, generally 1-100 nanometers. It has wide applications across many fields including materials science, medicine, electronics and more. Some key benefits of nanotechnology include increased strength and flexibility of materials, more efficient electronics and energy devices, targeted drug delivery for health applications, and novel materials and consumer products. However, there are also concerns about potential negative environmental and health impacts of nanoparticles. More research is still needed to understand interactions of nanomaterials with the human body and environment and ensure their safe development and use.

    PART 2 Guide Questions for Discussion


    Direction: Briefly answer the following questions leading to the central idea of our discussion on
    Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.

    1. What are nanomaterials and how are they made?


    Nanomaterials can occur naturally, be created as the by-products of combustion reactions.
    strategies are used to produce nanoparticles/nanomaterials 'top-down' and 'bottom-up'. The term
    'top-down' refers here to the mechanical crushing of source material using a milling process. In
    the 'bottom-up' strategy, structures are built up by chemical processes.The selection of the
    respective process depends on the chemical composition and the desired features specified for
    the nanoparticles.

    2. What are the factors that need to be considered before manufacturing materials through
    nanotechnology?
    Nanomaterials can be designed to improve strength, flexibility, durability, lubricity and electrical
    conductivity compared to standard materials, as well as being resistant to numerous
    environmental conditions, such as glare, moisture, temperature, corrosion and even microbes.

    3. What are the contributions of nanotechnology for the improvement and sustainability of our
    environment?
    by saving raw materials, energy and water as well as by reducing greenhouse gases and
    hazardous wastes.

    PART 3 Impacts of Nanotechnology

    Direction: Search for the recent applications and potential benefits of nanotechnology to the
    various areas of our society. However, look also for the negative impacts of incorporating
    nanotechnology to the said areas including some of the common issues and concerns related to
    nanotechnology applications.
