Applications
The applications of nanochemistry have a wide range which covers from the semi-conductors electronics, to medicine. Nanochemistry uses semi-conductors that only conduct electricity in specific conditions. As the semi-conductors are much smaller than normal conductors the product can be much smaller.

There is evidence certain nanoparticles of silver are useful to inhibit some viruses and bacteria.

Nanochemistry has be impacting on several aspects of food science, from how food is grown to how it is packaged. Companies are developing nanomaterials that will make a difference not only in the taste of food, but also in food safety, and the health benefits that the food has. Companies are currently developing batteries using nanomaterials. Nanotechnology can use sensors to detect very small particles of chemical vapors. Different types of detecting elements, such as carbon nanotubes, zinc oxide nanowires or palladium nanoparticles can be used in nanotechnology sensors. Because of the small size of nanotubes, nanowires, or nanoparticles, a few gas molecules are sufficient to diverse the electrical properties of the sensing elements. Nanochemistry is being used to build high-tech armor and military weapons and for military uses. Nanochemistry could also be used for Chemical Warfare. Nanochemistry is also used to make windows that clean themselves, along with bicycles that are 1000 times stronger than steel but lighter than metal ones. The most productive piece of Nanochemistry is Carbon Nanotubes which are very dense and light when made into materials such as bicycles. Nanochemistry could be very useful in the future.
