Advances with Molecular Nanomaterials in Industrial Manufacturing Applications

Abstract

Molecular nanomaterials are of prodigious reputation for their uses in the numerous industries. This article highlights established industrial potential application areas for nanoparticles. The success of nanomanufacturing depends on the strong cooperation between academia and industry in order to be informed about current needs and future challenges, to design products directly translated to the industrial sector. The selection of the appropriate method, combining synthesis of nanomaterials with required properties and limited impurities as well as scalability of the technique, is of paramount importance. Varieties of molecular nanomaterials and their synthesis, characterization, and important applications are of current interest in several industries. Improved synthetic routes and advanced characterization methods will be important to advance molecular nanomaterials for their rapid translation to industries, manufacturing many useful products, and their implication in global economic development. Nanomaterials have emerging applications in almost all modern industries including construction, textile, water, aeronautics, food, medicine, environment cosmetics, machinery, oil and gas and computer. In the current review, we have chosen some leading industries world-wide that use nanomaterials. Besides the important applications of nanomaterials in almost all spheres of human life and environment, their toxicological effects must be addressed properly to utilize these applications. There are also some obstacles to a greater impact of nanotechnology in industry including its toxicological effects in human and surrounding environments and regulations of nanomaterials use. This review addresses molecular nanomaterials synthesis strategies, characterization methods developments, and their novel industrial and other relevant application fields.

Evaluation of the Behavior of Two CAD/CAM Fiber-Reinforced Composite Dental Materials by Immersion Tests

“…Theoretically, there is an infinite number of possible combinations between different materials, which can be used both as majority phases and as minority phases, in order to obtain a composite material with the desired properties. From a practical point of view, high-performance reinforced composite materials with use in various fields have been obtained, from the aerospace industry to the industry of materials used in medicine and dentistry [ 8 ].…”

Data-Centric Architecture for Self-Driving Laboratories with Autonomous Discovery of New Nanomaterials

“…Unfortunately, the tremendous efforts of chemists performing their routine experiments in laboratories do not always end in obtaining materials with desired properties. The conventional process of research and design of nanomaterials to industrial manufacturing [ 51 ] and commercialization depends on many factors and can be estimated as a period of up to a decade. A review article [ 52 ] discusses in detail the long path of graphene nanomaterials from laboratory experiments and research to industrial applications and markets.…”

Magnetite Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Applications in Optics and Nanophotonics

“…Nanotechnology is focused on the creation, investigation, and application of new types of materials, called “nanomaterials”, of which the size of at least one dimension is from 1 to 100 nm. Nanomaterials find their application in the broadest fields, including the chemical industry [ 1 , 2 , 3 ], agriculture [ 4 , 5 ], engineering [ 6 ], pharmaceutics [ 7 ], sustainable energy [ 8 ], medicine [ 9 , 10 , 11 ], etc.…”
