NANOTECHNOLOGY? Nano = Very tiny Study of the controlling of matter on an
atomic scale 1 to 100 nanometer!!!NANOMATERIALS? A study of materials with morphological
features on the nanoscale

NANOPARTICLE? Particles having one or more dimensions of
the order of 100nm or less Building blocks of nanotechnology Bridge between bulk materials and atomic or
molecular structures They form nanomaterials

HOW TO CREATE THEM?High Gravity Controlled Precipitation (HGCP) Developed based on fundamental mass
transfer principles Micro mixing of the reaction phases is
achieved in microseconds Reaction phases brought together under a
high gravity environment.

ADVANTAGES Scalability: Cost effective scale up for large
scale production of nanomaterials Control: Good control over quality, particle
size, distribution and particle shape Versatility: Can create any type of
nanomaterials

ONE REAL-LIFE EXAMPLE NMT announced today that it has signed an
exclusive licensing agreement with Winsunny Pharma for the use of HGCP Technology to manufacture a generic version of a world-wide hyperlipidemia-controlling drug in China with a potential market size of over US$900 million.

PROPERTIES
A shiny, yellow metal
Does not tarnish, Face centred cubic
structure Non-magnetic Melts at 1336 K.
Can turns red, blue, yellow and other colours.
A very good catalyst A semiconductor Melting point
decreases dramatically as the size decreases
Gold Nanogold

HOW? It is possible to tailor the properties of their
nanoparticles assemblies by varying the size and composition of the particles.
By heating these nanoparticle arrays at different rates, it introduces instability into the structure of nanogold. (Form nanowires)
Scientists in Japan discovered 10 years ago that gold displays fantastic catalytic abilities when it is shrunk to 3 to 5 nm in size.

USESStaining of Glass The Romans found that they could get
several colours out of the same gold particles simply by adding water and diluting the potion.
Rediscovered by Michael Faraday in the 1850s

USESSaving the Environment Nanogold technologies are showing great
promise in providing solutions to a number of environmentally important issues.
E.g: greener production methods of chemical feed-stocks, countering pollution and water purification.

USESCatalysts Can prevent the release of high amounts of
mercury into the atmosphere. Constructing cost effective and efficient fuel
cells, a key 'clean-energy' technology of the future.

USESTumors Using nanogold for tumour targeting technologies
to deliver drugs directly into cancerous tumours. Gold nanoparticles are introduced into the veins
and guided by a spectroscope to locate problem tumours; they are then injected into the tumour along with an antibody to stop the tumour’s ability to grow
Can be used to do a quick test for cancerous cells Also can be used in X-Rays to provide a better
vision of the human body

USESAdvanced Technologies The key driver of future electronics solutions. Shown to offer functional benefits for visual
display technologies such as touch sensitive screens.
Potential usage for advanced data storage technologies such as advanced flash memory devices.

USESCancers Scientists are able to do these: Using gold nanoparticles to locate and kill cancer
cells inside the body without harming healthy cells Collecting and characterizing tumour cells in a
person’s bloodstream with microfluidic devices Determining which gases exhaled in a person’s
breath indicate the presence of breast cancer Detecting ovarian cancer from patterns of
metabolites found in a drop of blood
