Anti-microbial surfaces gain more and more importance, especially facing the fact that global diseases very often are spread by contact with contaminated surfaces.
Over the coming years and decades, nanotechnologies are set to make an enormous impact on manufacturing and service industries; on electronics, information technology; and on many other areas of life, from medicine to energy conservation. Just how large this impact will be is not easily quantifiable, but some forecasts have placed the worldwide market for nanotechnology–related products at around £105 billion by 2005 and £700 billion by 2010.
The company have been developing many technologies for synthesis of nanoparticles by thermal plasma processing based on powder technology cultivated over the years.
