Directions: Answer the questions and Activities based on the topic discussed and

understanding.

1. What are nanomaterials and how are they made?

➢ Nanomaterials can occur naturally, be created as the by-products of

combustion reactions, or be produced purposefully through engineering

to perform a specialized function. These materials can have different

physical and chemical properties to their bulk-form counterparts.

3. What are the contributions of nanotechnology for the improvement and

sustainability of our environment?

➢ It can yield a new generation of nanomembranes for the separation of

water contaminants by removing and reducing water contaminants.

➢ Nanotechnology-based solutions can remove radioactive waste.

4. How do you describe Nanotechnology?

➢ Nanotechnology is a branch of science and technology that deals with

dimensions of less than 100 nanometers, especially for the manipulation of

remediation or clean-up to bind with and neutralize toxins.

6. Is nanotechnology helpful in this society or not? Explain to us why.

➢ Nanotechnology might help us make electrical lines, solar cells, and

biofuels more efficient, and make nuclear reactors safer. Nanotechnology

might lead to huge advances in health care, improving methods for

detecting and treating diseases like cancer.

7. Give a sample product made from a nanomaterial.

➢ Coatings, Cement, and Paints.
