Technologies that restore the environment and provide a green solution to the industrial problems are of interest to IndiaNano. We currently have technologies available for the purification of air and water. Waste disposal, tapping of renewable resources and reduction of pollution have now raised concerns at the international level. IndiaNano provides solutions though its pool of green technologies like desalination systems, removal of heavy metal, Oil spill removal methods, etc.
Materials
'Materials' is a very broad area and covers a whole range of technologies containing ceramics, coatings, composites, polymers, pigments, etc. There is a big market for these technologies and the available technologies cater to the needs of industries like paints and dyes, textiles, plastics, cosmetics, packaging, automobile, etc. Advanced coatings with improved wear resistance, stronger composites, ceramics with antimicrobial properties, better pigments and additives are a few examples of the available technologies.
Electronics
With an ever increasing demand for faster communication and the need for smaller devices, electronics has become a highly competitive field. MEMS and NEMS are two of the various cutting edge technologies that are creating waves. The exhaustive database of technologies can be broadly categorized into Smart sensors for automobiles, anti-theft devices, power electronics, automation, security devices, logic and memory integrated circuits.
Nanotechnology
As is a common knowledge, nanotechnology is a confluence of all the sciences. The immense amount of research being carried out in this technology speaks volumes of its potentials. Although the high-end applications might take more time to commercialize, the lower end materials like additives and fillers have already entered the market. Through its affiliates, IndiaNano has the expertise in carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles like titania, silica, alumina, talc, etc., nanocoatings, nanocomposites, and many such technologies.
Life Sciences
The science of using living organisms and/or their constituent parts to replace or augment products or processes has been a practice for ages. Life Science products include fuels, chemicals, lubricants, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, clothing, plastics and building materials derived through living organisms. Biotechnology, genomics, drug discoveries, health sciences and organic farming are the fields of interest for IndiaNano.
Energy
With the increasing power consumption and fast draining fossil fuels, hunt is on for an ideal energy source, which is not only abundantly available but is also environmentally friendly. Search is on for stationary power sources as well as portable sources. Scientists all over the world are experimenting with hydrogen to replace gasoline and are hoping to use fuel cells as both stationary and portable power source. Solutions can also be provided through advanced rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, solar power, etc.
