New publication using Attana Technology demonstrates that maize and milk proteins can replace fossil fuels and metals in the production of high-tech functional surfaces
Nanotechnology can be found almost everywhere in our daily lives, although it is nearly impossible to see. Nanostructures are materials that have been processed at the atomic level to obtain desired material properties. They are used, for instance, in electronics, diagnostics, and as surface treatments for textiles.Prof Nicholls and Dr. Suriyanarayanan at the Linnaeus University has in a recent publication demonstrated how high-tech nanostructures can be made from food components such as proteins from milk and maize. Nanostructural materials can significantly improve the performance in
