Gold Nanoparticles Could Lend Green to Fabrics and Fragrances
Abstract:
A team of Harvard scientists has discovered that gold nanoparticles could be used to produce fabrics and fragrances. The process is cheaper and more energy efficient, and it emits fewer pollutants than conventional production methods. The breakthrough is more proof that sustainable manufacturing methods can achieve bottom line benefits along with improvements in public health and environmental safety.
