6. Soldiers’ Food and Nanotechnology
Food Preservation & Packaging
 Food preservation refers to any one of a number of
techniques used to prevent food from spoiling. All foods
begin to spoil as soon as they are harvested or slaughtered.
Some spoiling is caused by such microorganisms as
bacteria and mold. Other spoilage results from chemical
changes within the food itself due to natural processes such
as enzyme action or oxidation.
 Soldier’s food need to be preserved for so many days and
for that we need such pouches which are very much
effective in preservation

7. Food Packaging Applications of Nanomaterials:
Features & Concerns
Applications Features
Nanocomposites Incorporating nanomaterials into the packaging to
improve physical performance,
Durability, Barrier properties, Biodegradation.
Nano-coatings Incorporating nanomaterials onto the packaging
surface (either the inside or the outside surface, or
a sandwiched as a layer in a laminate) to
improve specially the Barrier Properties.
Surface biocides Incorporating nanomaterials with Antimicrobial
properties acting on the Packaging Surface
Active packaging Incorporating nanomaterials with Antimicrobial
or other properties (e.g. Antioxidant) with
intentional release into- and consequent effect on
the packaged food.
Intelligent Packaging Incorporating Nanosensors to monitor and report
on the condition of the food.

8. Nanomaterials for Food Preservation
 Nanoclay & Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites: Bottles made with
nanocomposites minimize the leakage of carbon dioxide out of the
bottle; this increases the shelf life of carbonated beverages without
having to use heavier glass bottles or more expensive cans.
Nanocomposites provides:
 Barrier property enhancement
 Chemical and thermal stability
 Flame retardation in combination with FR agents
 Processing Characteristics
 Mechanical properties improvement
 Increase stiffness without loss of flexibility
 Increased dimensional stability

9. Silver Nanoparticles in food storage
 Another example is food storage bins with silver nanoparticles embedded in the
plastic. The silver nanoparticles kill bacteria from any food previously stored in
the bins, minimizing harmful bacteria.
 Gelatin, chitosan and silver nanoparticles are used in making the biodegradable
film. Gelatin which is a heterogeneous mixture of water soluble proteins is used
as a component of biodegradable packaging materials.
 Silver nanoparticles are used in the film to enhance its antimicrobial
properties, because nanosilver has been widely used as a coating on various
substrates to utilise its sterilizing properties.

10. Application of Nanotechnology in
Protective- Gears
 Fabrics: An innovative way of incorporating
nanomaterials into the fabric which will result in it
being cool in summer and warm in winter.
 Ballistic vests: Inclusion of nanomaterials (nanosilver)
as anti-microbials into the panels of ballistic vests to
reduce heat stress problems for an individual soldier.
Nanotube fibers are used to make a material seventeen
times tougher than the Kevlar. Future developments are
to use nanotechnology to create Smart and Interactive
Textiles (SMIT) that can sense electrical, thermal,
chemical, magnetic, or other stimuli.
 Various types of helmets: To fabricate materials
incorporating nanomaterials of different types into
blends of synthetic and natural fabrics and foams, and
to use them inside the helmets to reduce the
temperatures within the helmets.

11. Applications of nanotechnology in Chemical /Gas
sensors
Nanomaterials in Soldiers Mask
 Poisonous gases were known about for a long time before the First
World War but military officers were reluctant to use them as they
considered it to be a uncivilized weapon. These gases are very much
harmful and soldiers must be protected from inhaling them. For
this, they need such masks, which can stop the gas before reaching
to their inhaling system.
 Nanotechnology can help our soldiers in a very much effective way.
There are various nanomaterials based gas sensors which can detect
these gases and can filter them out of the mask. The materials used
in these sensors are:
Carbon Nanotubes
Graphene
TiO2
WO3
SnO2
CuO
ZnO2

(Luminescent inorganic nanocrystals (Q-dots). The emission wavelength is a function of the crystal size -
crystals of the same chemistry can have the emission maxima in a wide range. CdTe hydrophilic Q-dots
are coated with –COOH groups and can be easily used for labeling purposes for chemical and biological
applications. CdSe/ZnS and ZnCdSe/ZnS (core/shell type) Q-dots are hydrophobic and are soluble in most
non-polar organic solvents.)

18. Tectomers

(Purity: > 95%)
 Tectomer 4-tailed, C(-CH2-NH-Gly7)4 * TFA
(Purity: > 95%)
(Tectomers are a novel type of self-assembling molecules. The structure of a tectomer
represents several oligoglycine units linked to one common center. The pH dependent
formation of strong hydrogen bonds between molecules leads to their self assembly
into extra-regular 2-D or 3-D layers of monomolecular thickness.10 mg of any
tectomer is enough for coating of more than 2 m2 of surface.)

 PEG NHS Ester Disulfide (Purity: > 95%. Oily liquid)
 Biotin PEG Disulfide (Purity: > 95%. Powder)
(PEG oligomers are processed into a variety of derivatives. A high purity for
intermediates and products is maintained, and our catalogue items have an
overall purity exceeding 95%. In comparison to PEG products obtained from
polydisperse material, the use of our compounds is therefore more
consistent.)

20. Phosphonic Acids Derivatives
 n-Alkylphosphonic acids kit
 n-Hexylphosphonic acid, tech.( C6H13P(O)(OH)2

particles‘ shape and size. Besides, they can be used for coating of many materials (including
nanoparticles) by condensed hydrophobic monolayers.

26. Nano Silver – in textiles for Garments and
Footwear
 Silver has been used for the treatment of medical applications for over 100
years due to its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties.
 When we perspire, bacteria thrive in the damp fibers and where bacteria thrive,
odor thrives too. When Nano Silver contacts with bacteria and fungi, they
adversely affect cellular metabolism and inhibit cell growth and they finally kill
them to almost 100%.
 Forms of Silver particles that are used in textile
 Liquid Nano Silver
 Nano Silver PET/PP Master Batch
 Nano Silver Polyamide 6 Master Batch
 Nano Silver impregnated yarn
 Effects of using Nano Silver
 Safe on the Skin
 Safe for the Environment
