WHAT IS NANO TECHNOLOGY?

CONCRETE
Nanotechnology is the use of very small pieces
of material by
themselves or their manipulation to create new
large scale
materials.
• At the Nano-scale material properties are
altered from that of larger scales.
• The Nano-scale is the size range from
approximately 1nm to 100nm.
•Nanotechnology is an enabling technology
that allows us to develop materials with
improved or totally new properties
