CHEMICAL PORTFOLIO
CARBON NANOTUBES
Overview
Carbon nanotubes are a collection of very thin carbon particles formed into tiny hollow tubes. The particles form in a rope like structure and are held together by van der Waals forces. PROs
It is not currently being regularly used. Future Uses

NANO SILICA
Overview
Silicon dioxide nanoparticles, also known as silica nanoparticles or nanosilica, are the basis for a great deal of biomedical research due to their stability, low toxicity and ability to be functionalized with a range of molecules and polymers. PROs
No obvious cons. Current Uses
