Iran Exports Nano-Based Products to 50 Countries
At present, 300 knowledge-based nanotechnology companies active in Iran export 715 types of products to 50 countries of the world, which are used in 20 industrial fields. They have produced nearly 250 types of nano-based goods at the beginning, but over time this number has increased to 500 data-x-items and at present, nearly 715 types of products are being made with the help of nanotechnology.
So far, Iran has managed to register 4 international ISO standards in the field of nanotechnology. The country is one of the pioneer states in this technology, and in this field it operates on par with Germany and China.
Nano-based colon cancer detection kit, baby skin jaundice test at home and effluent purification of refineries with nano membrane modules are among the achievements of the Iranian scientists in this field.
Iran has made nanotechnology a priority in recent years, achieving remarkable success. The nanotechnology research website StatNano has ranked Iran as fourth in the world in nanotechnology publications.
The number of scientific articles is deemed a significant parameter for measuring and comparing scientific development, according to StatNano that provides the global and regional ranking of the main indicators of nano science, technology, and industry. China was atop the rankings, followed by the United States and India.
International entities have acknowledged Iranian contributions to the field. In February 2022, the American Institute of Physics published a scholarly article on the use of nanomaterials for cancer treatment by Iranian scientists.
Among Iran's nanotechnology products, 42% are related to construction, 17% to petroleum and 13% to automobile manufacturing.
Nanotechnology refers to industrial production from atomic and molecule-sized matter. It leverages the properties of nanoparticles into a wide range of applications spanning a vast number of industries. Key accomplishments in the field of nanotechnology can be seen across a wide variety of engineering, energy and medical sectors.
