Review of the Application of Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the ability to produce new materials, tools and systems by taking control at the molecular and atomic levels and using their properties at the nanoscale. Nanoscience is the study and research of devices and structures that exist in the smallest unit of dimension (200) nanometers or smaller. From the above definitions, it can be seen that nanotechnology is not a discipline but a new approach in all disciplines. Applications for nanotechnology have been listed in various fields from food, medicine, medical diagnostics and biotechnology to electronics, computers, communications, transportation, energy, environment, aerospace materials and national security: The wide applications of this field and its social, political and legal consequences have raised this technology as a multidisciplinary and multidisciplinary field. This book has four chapters, including:Chapter I, Introduction;Chapter II, Review of the application of nanotechnology in the food industry;Chapter III, Application of Nanotechnology in Food Packaging;Chapter IV, A Review of Challenges Facing the Food Packaging Industry and References.
