Brazilian Nanotechnology Progress Helps Build Textile Sector Revenues

摘要

BRAZIL MAY BE the source of just 1.6% of all nanotechnology research papers across the world, according to UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation), but it remains a leader among its Latin American neighbours due to its National Nanotechnology Programme. Textile applications of nanotechnology have been designated a key area of investment under the 10-year-old government funding scheme by the federal ministry of science, technology, Innovation and communication - a decision which is generating results for the industry today.
