Innovnano, in the person of Dr. Ana
Lúcia Lagoa, participated in the National Meeting of Nanotoxicology
E2N2011, held in Lisbon on February 7-8. The Innovnano researcher spoke
on the subject "Perspectives and Opportunities in the Nanomaterial
Market", affirming that "medicine, energy storage and
production, aeronautics, ecology, electronics ... are some of the areas
awaiting materials that will enable them to make a quantum leap and
overcome the current limits of technology".
In her presentation, Dr. Ana Lúcia Lagoa
stressed that, although most of these projects are long term and will
only produce palpable results decades from now, there are many areas in
which nanotechnology can have an immediate or medium-term impact: "Solar
protection, antitarnish coatings, self-cleaning surfaces,
scratch-resistant surfaces, optimized fuel cells, batteries, nanosensors,
plus others, are some examples of the current opportunities for the
nanomaterial market".
Directed mainly towards researchers who
deal with nanoparticles, besides covering aspects related to
nanotoxicology, the conference also dealt with subjects related to the
description of nanomaterials and their applications. |
