nanotechnology and polymeres

1. nanotechnology is the branch of technology that deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometres, especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.

   • coating the inside of a fridge with silver nanoparticles ensures that any microbe is killed and keeps the fridge clean hygienic and safe.

2. a polymer is a substance which has a molecular structure built from a large number of similar units bonded together, e.g. many synthetic organic materials used as plastics.
