Nanotechnology: A New Sight Toward the Future
Keywords:
Nanotechnology, awareness, nanomaterials, applications, difficulties; and questionnaireAbstract
Lately, all over the world, increasing attention has been paid to highlight the importance of employing Nanotechnology in various practices and industries. Nanotechnology seems to be the first rank among the priorities of scientific researches. The present study concentrates on the awareness of Nanotechnology. It was conducted as a partial fulfillment of the requirement for (B.Sc.) degree in the chemistry department in Sirte university in 2017 - 2018. It aims to discover the extent of general knowledge regarding Nanotechnology and its advantages. Information was collected in analytic descriptive method. A survey has been applied by using a questionnaire and library research. A sample of 95 participants was undertaken in Sirte university. Data was analyzed using the statistician program (SPSS). The result shows that the majority of respondents (33.7%) have no idea about Nanotechnology. However, some of them trust that the advantages of Nanotechnology are more than its disadvantages. Also, as an interesting outcome, most of the answers (84.2%) approve that; participants have been stimulated to quest about the technology and its benefits. This paper confirms the view which announces Nanotechnology as a component of the world's future leading to a new industrial revolution.
