This means that the same substance/material can be used Nanotechnology nologically for developing totally new products and processes which serve the same or different purpose. This will have wide effects on chemical engineering and material management in the years to come. Therefore, presently, there is lot of focus world wide on chemical nanotechnology and it is bringing the chemists closer to the experts in other disciplines including physics and biochemistry, as also the material scientists, engineers and industrialists.

Application of nanotechnology is particularly important for the production and use of new nano-structured materials as well as production and use of nano particles including metals, oxides and other inorganic structures. The manufacture of carbon and inorganic nano tubes and fullerenes and their use in technological processes is another important aspect of nano chemical engineering. The making and using of novel quantum dots and new biologically relevant nanostructures is a big revolution through use of nanoscience. Nano structured coatings and surfaces open up a whole new area of surface treatments like coatings, paints, and texturing surface and self cleaning surfaces. It is felt that with these strategic innovations, there will be reduction in adhesion in paintings leading to lesser requirement of not only the anti-fouling agents but considerable reduction in consumption of paint itself.

Indian scenario is characterized by low level of chemical exploitation and efficiency. This is mainly because of the lack of technology and the forward linkages. Of late, activities in the Industrial sector has picked up generating fresh demands for various chemicals. The headquarters of SAiNSCE, the Gujarat State of India , however, represents a different and more robust scene in terms of chemical industry. It is the Indian hub of chemical, petro-chemical, plastics and pharmaceutical industry. Thus, SAiNSCE is in a position to immediately leverage its understanding and strength in the Nano chemicals for the market which is huge and expanding. This experience and network will, of course, be useful for the greater Indian framework and even out of India.

SAiNSCE is operating from a place which is the hub of chemical & petrochemical industries in India. It is already in contact with various researchers in the field of nano science and users to make full use of the Nanotechnology enabled safety devices to begin with.

Through the SAiNSCE nano forum we are aggressively trying to create an interface with a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines and experts to take the full benefit of the nano science and its applications in this sector. The end objective is to introduce, popularize, market and manufacture the nanotechnology driven chemical based devices to reduce the environmental hazards to begin with and to bring in more efficiency in the long run.
