Nanotechnology, as per the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), is characterized as use of structures with no less than one measurement of nanometre size for the development of materials, gadgets or frameworks with novel or essentially enhanced properties due to their nano-size. Applications incorporate strong state, bio-, substance and estimation advancements that focalize "top-down" and "base up" to the nanoscale. The idea of nanotechnology is however not new, having been received by Taniguchi in 1974 when he characterized the basic measurements and resiliences in innovation. Consequently nanotechnology is a piece of the advancement of machining precision, without any distinctions from conventional fields of science or designing aside from in size. Today nanotechnology comprises of four noteworthy fields: nanoelectronics, nanomaterials, atomic nanotechnology and nanoscale-determination microscopy Enhancement of material materials by nanotechnology applications is ready to wind up a trillion dollar industry in the following decade, with enormous mechanical, financial and ecologic potential. The utilization of nanomaterials to upgrade the useful execution of defensive facemasks is depicted.
