Nanochemistry is a new discipline concerned with the unique properties associated with assemblies of atoms or molecules on a scale between that of the individual building blocks and the bulk material. ... Nanochemistry is the use of synthetic chemistry to make nanoscale building blocks of desired shape, size, composition and surface structure, charge and functionality with an optional target to control self-assembly of these building blocks at various scale-lengths. Nanochemistry uses semi-conductors that only conduct electricity in specific conductions. As the semi-conductors are much smaller than normal conductors the product can be much smaller. 3, record 1, English, - nanochemistry

La nanochimie trouve sa légitimité dans la capacité que les chimistes ont acquise au cours des dernières décennies à synthétiser des structures présentant une complexité et une architecture inédite. [...] Les grands défis de la nanochimie concerneront donc les aspects suivants : - les nouvelles méthodes de synthèse dont certaines s'inspireront de méthodes en vigueur dans le vivant (méthodes biomimétiques). Ces méthodes permettront d'obtenir des structures inédites liant entre elles des atomes divers dont des métaux; - l'auto-assemblage et l'auto-organisation de nouvelles molécules conduisant à des structures de taille importante; - la conception de nano-matériaux aux propriétés physico-chimiques nouvelles ainsi qu'à la fonctionnalisation de ces nanomatériaux pour varier leurs actions. Les domaines d'applications sont par construction formidablement étendus mais on peut citer les catalyseurs, le nanomagnétisme, l'électronique moléculaire, voire l'optique [...] 2, record 1, French, - nanochimie

Un textile antibactérien permanent. Le Bactenet [...] (France) tue les bactéries qui viennent en contact avec lui car il est fabriqué à partir d'une fibre par elle-même antibactérienne. En effet, grâce à l'incorporation, de manière indissociable, dans les fibres qui le composent d'un bactéricide inorganique de synthèse mélangé à de microscopiques particules métalliques, il se dégage sous l'effet de l'humidité de l'oxygène actif qui détruit les germes et les champignons infectieux. L'effet bactéricide autodésinfectant est permanent [...] C'est l'eau, ou l'humidité de l'air qui déclenche un effet de catalyse dégageant de l'oxygène actif. 1, record 11, French, - bact%C3%A9ricide%20inorganique%20de%20synth%C3%A8se

Much of the mineral particulate matter in a polluted atmosphere is in the form of oxides and other compounds produced during the combustion of high-ash fossil fuel. Most of the mineral matter ... presents no air pollution problems. Smaller ash particles called fly ash enter furnace flues and, in a properly equipped stack system, are collected efficiently. However, some of the fly ash particles escape through the stack and enter the atmosphere. 1, record 14, English, - mineral%20particulate%20matter
