Industrial Applications
Nano paints
Nanoparticles, are integrated into paint formulations. These particles enhance the paint's properties by improving its durability and resistance to wear.
Nanotechnology helps achieve better color retention, ensuring the paint maintains its vibrancy over time.
Low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) nanotech paints reduce environmental impact by releasing fewer harmful chemicals during application.
Nano-infused paints may also include self-cleaning properties due to their unique surface characteristics, making maintenance easier.
Pollution absorbing paints
Kadamba is at the forefront of combating air pollution with innovative air pollution-absorbing paints incorporating palladium green nanoparticles. These nanoparticles harness their unique catalytic properties and high surface area to effectively absorb and degrade pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) upon exposure to light or air.
Integrated into paint formulations, palladium nanoparticles initiate oxidation reactions that convert harmful pollutants into less toxic compounds or capture them outright. This technology offers significant advantages, including enhanced air quality in both indoor and outdoor environments, reduced VOC emissions from painted surfaces, and potential applications in urban areas to mitigate pollution hotspots.
Moreover, these paints also target sulfur oxides (SOx), converting SO2 and other SOx emissions into less harmful compounds like sulfates or elemental sulfur, thereby minimizing acid rain formation and associated health risks. Ongoing research focuses on optimizing nanoparticle dispersion, durability, and long-term effectiveness to ensure sustained pollution reduction benefits across various environmental settings.
Green Energy
Nanomaterials, are used to enhance solar panels' efficiency. These materials can capture and convert sunlight into electricity more effectively.
In energy storage, nanotechnology is applied to improve battery performance by increasing energy density and extending lifespan.
Nanotech sensors enable precise monitoring and control of energy systems, optimizing energy distribution and consumption.
Innovations in energy-efficient lighting, like LED technology, owe their success to nanoscale materials and structures.
Pharma green-catalyst
Nanocatalysts are employed in pharmaceutical manufacturing to accelerate chemical reactions involved in drug synthesis.
The high surface area-to-volume ratio of nanomaterials allows for more efficient catalytic reactions.
These nanocatalysts offer selectivity, meaning they can precisely target specific reactions while minimizing unwanted byproducts.
Their use results in increased drug production yields, reduced energy consumption, and cost savings in the pharmaceutical industry.
