Figure 1. Dead mosquitos on a NNET NANO bed net. Locking a nano scale formulation to minimise the spread of mosquito borne diseases: Researchers at NANOTEC Nano Functional Textile Laboratory in Thailand have developed NNET NANO. They found a way to lock the nanoscale formulation of Deltamethrin into the fabric of bed nets, which will kill the mosquito within a few minutes, when it contacts the fabric. This nanoscale formulation is effective up to 5 years (instead of yearly recoating).
Figure 2. Water tank made from plastic embedded with silver nanoparticles demonstrated antimicrobial properties and received the approval of NanoQ labelling.
Figure 3. Number of nanoproducts in Thailand was available in the market, for example, i.e. nanosilver coated T-shirts, nanotitanium colour paint, nanosilicone colour paint, nano coated spray, nano sun protective white; nano active whitening cream, nano white masking cream.
Figure 4. NaNOMOS Sunscreen was formulated with nano mosquito repellent mixed with nanoTiO2 particles which showed the effect of mosquito repellent and maximised for sun protection.
