Blog post 8: Nano applications

1: Car bumpers. Car bumpers today appear to be plastic, but instead are made of very strong Thermoplastic Olefins which are extremely durable to weather and physical contact.

2: Sensodyne. Sensodyne is a toothpaste that when used binds to exposed nerve endings to calm the sensitivity of death. http://us.sensodyne.com/?google=e_&rotation=3859&banner=26253&kw=303114

3: Water proof fabric. Some shirts today are made out of material that is completely resistant to liquids. All liquids roll off and lack the ability to "soak in" removing the chance of stains. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproof_fabric

4: Nanoknife. A new method used to remove tumors completely curing cancer. http://www.inova.org/healthcare-services/cancer/specialty-cancer-programs/center-for-interventional-oncology/treatment-options/nanoknife

5: Technion alumni: have been making headlines by using nanotech to design one of the world’s most shock-resistant protective coatings five times the strength of steel - to protect troops and vehicles on the battlefield.

7: Golf  Balls: Some golf balls use exceptional core technology and perforation of the outside to create the ideal range of a golf ball. http://www.titleist.com/golfballs/Prov1.aspx

8: Tape: Modern day touch screens and LCD screens are derivations of tape which give us the crystal clear images we see daily. http://nanogloss.com/nanotechnology/applications-of-nanotechnology/#axzz1d8c0HaUf

9: Tennis Rackets: Have the strength of steel and are extremely durable.
