6 Flow chemistry for nanotechnology

6.1 Introduction to nanotechnology and graphene technology

6.1.1 Introduction

Flow chemistry has been introduced and was translated into practice during the past years to prepare nanoparticles with unique material characteristics. Nanotechnology is not a single technology; it is a complex and malleable group of diverse technologies and attracting interest for the researchers to create new materials with unexpected physicochemical properties, develop new technologies for the production of the nanomaterials creating new industries across a wide range of fields.

Advanced nanotechnology in the near future will offer new opportunities, for example, development of new or improved materials; applications within the sphere of electronics and IT; advances in health and medicine; improvements in cosmetic products and advances in food technology; developments in products for military, in-line security use, and space exploration; products and processes to improve the environmental management. Many parts of the world can not sustainably support with its attendant environmental and societal impacts. “Nano” manufacturing could provide cheap and green technologies to develop and create novel materials with enhanced characteristics, thus making sustainable twentieth century manufacturing processes.

Nanotechnology has a great potential for a wide range of industrial applications. Industries affected include automotive, electronics, packaging, aerospace, information, communications, pharmaceuticals, food and personal care. Nanotechnology is encountered in everyday materials (polymers, plastics, and rubber, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals, paper, foodstuffs, fabrics, textiles, and detergents) and technologies (nucleation and precipitation, liquid crystals, chromatography and ion-exchange, flotation, and heterogeneous catalysis).

This chapter gives a brief overview on the history and theoretical background of the nanoparticle production and summarizes the most important approaches of flow chemistry-based technologies currently used for fabrication of different nanomaterials.
