Nano
Measurement
One-billion of a meter. For comparison purposes, consider that the
width of human hair is approximately 80,000 nanometers. A
nanometer-sized particle also is smaller than a living cell and can be
seen only with the most powerful microscopes available today.
What
is Nano Technology
While
many definitions for nanotechnology exist, the NNI calls it
nanotechnology" only if it involves all of the following:
| |
 |
Research and
technology development at the atomic, molecular or macromolecular
levels, in the length scale of approximately 1 - 100 nanometer range. |
| |
|
Creating and using structures,
devices and systems that have novel properties and functions because of
their small and/or intermediate size. |
| |
|
Ability to control or
manipulate on the atomic scale. |
Medical
researchers work at the micro- and nano-scales to develop new drug
delivery methods, therapeutics and pharmaceuticals. For instance, DNA,
our genetic material, is in the 2.5 nanometer range, while red blood
cells are approximately 2.5 micrometers.

What is Nano
Technology and Nano Silver ???
Nanotechnology is
a rapidly growing science of producing and utilizing nano-sized
particles that measure in nanometers (1nm = 1 billionth of a meter).
One nanomaterial that is having an early impact in healthcare product
is nano-silver.
Silver has been used for the treatment of
medical ailments for over 100 years due to its natural antibacterial
and antifungal properties. The nano silver particles typically measure
25nm. They have extremely large relatively surface area, increasing
their contact with bacteria or fungi, and vastly improving its
bactericidal and fungicidal effectiveness.
The nano silver when in contact with bacteria
and fungus will adversely affect cellular metabolism and inhibit cell
growth. The nano silver suppresses respiration, basal metabolism of
electron transfer system, and transport of substrate in the microbial
cell membrane. The nano silver inhibits multiplication and growth of
those bacteria and fungi which cause infection, odor, itchiness and
sores.
Nano Silver can be applied to range of other healthcare products such
as dressings for burns, scald, skin donor and recipient sites; acne and
cavity wounds; and female hygiene products – panty liners, sanitary
towels and pants.

Historical
Use of Silver |
| |
|
Ancient European nobilities normally used silver
tableware in order to prevent food poisoning. |
| |
|
Indian
people used silver thin film when they keeping food which is easily
spoiled. |
| |
|
The
early western settles kept silver coins in their water casks and milk
jugs to retard spoiling and contamination. |
| |
|
In
Australia it is still common for settlers to place a piece of
silverware in their water tanks to retard spoilage. |
| |
|
In
modern times, silver water purification filters and tablets are
available for use in homes, businesses, and on airlines. |
| |
|
Electrical
ionizer units that use silver and copper ions to sanitize swimming pool
water – replacing chlorine- have been developed. |
| |
|
Silver
is even used by U.S. National Aeronautical and Space Administrative
(NASA), and the Russians, to purify water in both countries’ space
shuttles. |
| |
|
Nowadays,
there are over 50 silver based medicines in the market, i.e., oral,
inject able and topical forms. |
|
|
Efficacy
of Nano Silver |
|
Even though
many people know that Silver has superior antibacterial and antibiotic
characteristics, there has been limitation on the application in real
life because of darkening at high temperature and high cost.
Nanotechnology solved all these two problems at the same time.
Nanotechnology
is that of processing the material down to several nano meter range
(1nm=10-9mm, 1/10,000 of hair thickness).
Nano Silver
will combine with the cell walls of pathogenic bacteria, will then
directly get inside the bacteria and quickly combine with sulphydryl
(-SH) of oxygenic metabolic enzyme to deactivate them, to block
inhalation and metabolism and suffocate the bacteria.
Nowadays,
Nano Silver technology is used in coating the surface of electronics,
carbons or carbon blocks, textiles, metals, woods, ceramics, glass,
papers, mixing to the plastics resin, using in fiber and many others.
The core
technology of Nano Silvver is the ability to produce particle as small
as possible and to distribute these particle very uniformly. When the
nano particles are coated on the surface of any material, the surface
area is increasing several million times than the normal silver foil.
The
maximized surface enables strong antibacterial effect with small amount
of silver. The most important thing in Nano Silver is to control the
purity of silver particle. In case 0.01% of Nickel impurity is added to
the Nano Silver particle, it is very harmful to human body. Many
researchers are focusing on the possibility to be used in conquering
the “SUPER BACTERIA” which is threatening human life in the future.
In
addition, Nano Silver will not expire. Light, heat and radiations will
now affects its healing qualities.
