Title : The challenges of green nanotechnology in an ever-changing world

Abstract:

One of the great problems in the science and engineering, it is a development of sustainable materials, which are produce by a chemically green rout. In this sense, production of new materials, such as nanomaterials, based on new chemically green route using low-cost reagents is a great science challenge. In addition, the world is passing for various changes, mainly, in the environmental and climate area. Then, choosing routes more ecofriendly and sustainable is an important demand in an ever-changing world. These nanomaterials have gained more and more space in the society and market. Nevertheless, the production of these materials is still used an unsustainable chemical route. For example, the industry of electronic devices has invested in the development new nanoelectronics devices, however, most of the methodology used is based on not eco-friendly route, using toxically reagents. In this context, searching of new green routes is a challenge in nanomaterials science. Thus, the research of BIOSEM group is based on produced new nanomaterials for multiple applications, using green routes and reagents a feedstock of semiarid region and agroindustry waste, which has many potentials to produce nanomaterials for various applications.

Audience take-away:

  • The audience will able to understand the new challenges in the nanomaterial’s science in an ever-changing world
  • Many types of industry, such as electronic industry, biomaterial industry, pharmaceutical industry, have invested in the development new nanoelectronics devices, so, understand and looking for new green chemically routes in a world that has searching more sustainability, and less environmental impacts is a real and important differential for the works of industry. This speaks is an invitation to reflect on necessary changes in an ever-changing world.
