1 ADVANCED MATERIALS Nanotechnologies in the CR

2 1.What are some of the sources of environmental pollution? 2.What do you know about nanos and nanotechnology? How big is 1 nanometer in relation to 1 meter? 3.Nanomaterials are good for our environment. Do you know how? 4.What are some of the ways you can contribute to a cleaner environment? Exercise 1

3 1.Nano technology is being used with photocatalysis for indoor and outdoor paints. 2.Advanced Materials was founded in 2004. 3.Phyotocatalytic paints are beneficial with other things besides pollutants. 4.Commercialization of nanotechnology is difficult because it is too expensive. 5.Ten years ago, most people didn’t know what a nano was. 6.People buy products from nanotechnology because they improve the quality of life and the environment. 7.A side benefit of painting the outside of buildings with photocatalytic paints is that they clean the air for the public as well. Exercise 2 Are these statements TRUE or FALSE?

4 Listen and fill in the gaps 1.We were operating in the time when nano was just … 2.Among others we also make photocatalytic paints that can turn your room into …. 3.The people don´t buy … 4.They protect you from viruses and … 5.They clean the air for … 6.Today it becomes more and more popular, I would even think it becomes… 7. They buy it because…. Exercise 3

5 Define the following English expressions: Exercise 4

6 ROLE PLAY 1.GROUP DISCUSSION: What do you know about nanotechnology and its uses today? What is nano photocatalytics and what does it do? What kinds of investigations does the field inquire into? Some companies claim nanotechnology affects every aspect of daily life today. How so? 2.TEAMWORK: Work in groups of 3 or 4 to investigate the field of nanotechnology and its applications. Besides photocatalytics, what are some of its other areas of application? What have been some of the new products, devices, or innovations available to the public from nanotechnology research? What is the difference between nanotechnology and material science? Are they related? How? Find links about the topic, read text, write notes, and be prepared to report on your findings to the rest of the groups.
