Self-Cleaning Materials: A Nano-Technology Wonder

Image
Have you ever wondered how these paints, glass windows, and fabric companies claim that their material is self-cleaning and lasts for years? Maybe yes or maybe no. Such upgrades in these everyday use items are due to the “Self-Cleaning Technology” a wonder of Nano-Technology (Manipulation of atoms and molecules at a nanoscale). Nanotechnology has been a hot topic for researchers in materials engineering, electrical engineering, physics, and much more on for a couple of decades now. This technology is doing wonders and maybe is going to change this world in the coming time. In addition, the speed with which this technology is growing and giving breakthroughs every day maybe our generation or the next generation will be able to witness the “Future”. Lotus Leaf: The incredible property of Lotus leaf (on the left) is self-cleaning is the basis of self-cleaning. The microstructure (on the right) represents the grooves on the leaf which is the reason behind this property. Self-Cleanin
