“…The overall positive impact of nanotechnology in food processing, manufacturing, packing, pathogenic detection, monitoring, and production profiles necessitates the wide-scale application of this technology in the food industry worldwide [ 4 , 41 ]. Recent research has shown how the delivery of bioactive compounds and essential ingredients is and can be improved by the application of nanomaterials (nanoencapsulation) in food products [ 46 ]. These technologies improve the protection performance and sensitivity of bioactive ingredients while preventing unnecessary interaction with other constituents of foods, thus establishing clear-cut improved bioactivity and solubility profiles of nanofoods, thereby improving human health benefits.…”

Nanotechnology, contrary to its name, has massively revolutionized industries around the world. This paper predominantly deals with data regarding the applications of nanotechnology in the modernization of several industries. A comprehensive research strategy is adopted to incorporate the latest data driven from major science platforms. Resultantly, a broad-spectrum overview is presented which comprises the diverse applications of nanotechnology in modern industries. This study reveals that nanotechnology is not limited to research labs or small-scale manufacturing units of nanomedicine, but instead has taken a major share in different industries. Companies around the world are now trying to make their innovations more efficient in terms of structuring, working, and designing outlook and productivity by taking advantage of nanotechnology. From small-scale manufacturing and processing units such as those in agriculture, food, and medicine industries to larger-scale production units such as those operating in industries of automobiles, civil engineering, and environmental management, nanotechnology has manifested the modernization of almost every industrial domain on a global scale. With pronounced cooperation among researchers, industrialists, scientists, technologists, environmentalists, and educationists, the more sustainable development of nano-based industries can be predicted in the future.

The detection of chloramphenicol (CAP) is of paramount importance in safeguarding food safety and protecting human health. Herein, a photochemical (PEC) electrode combined with CAP molecular imprinted (TiO 2 -MIPC) films has been reported and then the PEC property has been utilized to realize light-elution function. The PEC theory has been used to accelerate the preparation of MIPs combined with special recognition of MIPs to enhance PEC sensors and their detection capacity. The SEM image shows that MIP films were deposited on a pipe orifice of the TiO 2 . The TiO 2 -MIPC sensor electrode exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity for determination of CAP, and the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) analysis is highly linear over CAP concentrations of 0.1−20 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.03 ng/mL (S/N = 3). Moreover, DFT calculations indicate that the combination mode of PANI@CAP may be hydrogen-bond interactions between amino and nitro groups, and the P/N junction of PEC-MIPC generates photogenic charge to break the hydrogen bond as well promote the self-elution function. Thus, this convenient and sensitive PEC sensor will improve the efficiency of hazardous substance detection and offer a design for future PEC sensors.

“…From another perspective, nanotechnology enables advances in the development of new, high-performance, innovative nanocomposite materials [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] , with unique properties deriving from a synergistic relationship between a polymer matrix and a nanometric filler [25][26][27] that depends on particles dimensions, chemical affinity between polymer and particles and their dispersion on a nanometric scale within the matrix [25][26][27] . New properties of nanocomposites, such as mechanical and thermal enhancements, electric conductivity and different chemical reactivity depend on the type of filler, and might not be observed with micrometric or macrometric particles [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] .…”

Poly(methyl methacrylate) and silica nanocomposites as new materials for polymeric optical devices

PMMA is one of the most used polymers for optical applications, due to its well-known optical properties and low-cost. PMMA/fumed silica nanocomposites were synthesized by in situ polymerization under sonication to produce optical materials using two types of silica, a PDMS surface-modified and an unmodified one. Silica content and sonication amplitude effects on nanocomposites properties were studied by factorial experimental designs. Nanocomposites retained the high transparency of pristine PMMA, especially at lower levels of silica and sonication. Rheological analysis indicated better dispersion of the unmodified silica in PMMA. Dispersed silica in the PMMA nanocomposites decreased the PMMA refractive index by 0.012, making PMMA/fumed silica suitable for the cladding layer of PMMAcore waveguides, resulting in the total reflectance phenomenon for light guiding. Therefore, PMMA/fumed silica nanocomposites provide promising materials for polymer optical devices, such as optical fibers and panels, optical sensors and biosensors, photonic platforms, daylighting, and multi-touchscreen displays.
