Q
It has many Uses!
A
Because of Large surface area to volume ratio, it can help make new catalysts.
Some nanoparticles can conduct electricity, so they can be used in tiny electric circuits for computer chips.
Silver nanoparticles have antibacterial properties. They can be added to polymer fibres that are then used to make surgical masks and wound dressings and they can also be added to deodorants.
Also can be used in cosmetics. For example, they’re used to improve moisturisers without making them really oily.
