Introduction
Background
■ Nanotechnology is being implemented to develop
for using different purification as well as, industrial
procedures.
■ In industry, the application may involve the military
products, construction materials, as well as, nano-
machining about nano-wires, non-rods, as well as,
few layers regarding grapheme (Nikalje, 2015).

Cont’d
Context
■ Nanotechnology is being implemented for building
nations to support treat disease as well as,
preventing health concerns .
■ The emerging field regarding nanotechnology is
long been thought regarding obscure, when not
even a low scary (Ramos, et. al., 2017).

Cont’d
Overview
■ This presentation provides overviews regarding the
recent advancement in nanotechnologies different
treatment such as water, wastewater, medicine,
fabric, and food treatment.
■ The barriers regarding the full-scale application as
well as, research requirements to overcome the
barriers are also evaluated.

Purpose of the study
■ The main purpose of the study is to
assess the application of
nanotechnology.

Summary of Relevant
Literature
■ Summary of Relevant Literature
Theoretical understanding of nanotechnology
■ According to Cheraghian & Hendraningrat (2016), Nanotechnology is
used to understanding and controlling the matter at Nanoscale and
used as a dimension among about 1 and 100 Nanometers in which,
unique phenomenon makes competent to the application of Novel.
Application of Nanotechnology
■ As per the view of Baruah Khan & Dutta (2016), investigators are
creating the personalized Nanoparticles as well as, sizes of molecules,
which could provide drugs associated with diseased cells in the body.
In contrast to this, Dasgupta Ranjan & Ramalingam (2017) stated that
Nanotechnology keeps some answers regarding the ways for
increasing capabilities of electronics devices when it declines the
power and weight consumption.

Cont’d
■ Extensive
Challenges:
■ As per the opinion of Shakhnov et al. (2018), the
exact usage as well as, quality of Nanomaterials is
not recognized. It is complex for evaluating how
and where Nanomaterials are implemented in
because different producers do not demonstrate it

Summary of Methods,
Methodology and Data
Collection
Variables used and relations between variables
■ There are two variables used in this research such
as an independent and dependent variable.
■ There is a significant positive relationship between
Nanotechnology and food management, water
waste management, medicine management, better
Air Quality, Electronics as well as, Fabrics (Singh,
2017).

Cont’d
■ Data collection and measurement tools
■ Data is gathered through both primary and
secondary sources.
■ For measuring the collected data, a statistical data
analysis technique would be implemented as it aids
for understanding the information in a
comprehensible way.
■ Furthermore, 50 employees would be selected from
Wesfarmers who engaged in the application of
Nanotechnology (Dasgupta, Ranjan, &
Ramalingam, 2017).

Summary of any other
considerations/aspects of the
research
■ In this research, the researcher would keep the
confidentiality of the participants.
■ Along with this, it would not share the confidential
information of participants to others during and
after the research.
■ Along with this, the researcher would avoid the
plagiarism issues by giving proper in-text citation in
each paragraph (Baruah, Khan, & Dutta, 2016).
