Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to create a procedure for classifying and organizing nanotechnology. In addition to presenting the importance of diagrams, tables and scientific, engineering, analytical diagrams for technical consultation in nanotechnology. Considering a question such as: what is the percentage of nanotechnology in your product, service or process? Consider answering this question by consulting a standardized set of diagrams, at the level of Mollier's diagram thermodynamics. A set of diagrams have already been considered and contemplate various results of analytical tests, and characterizations of specific nanosciences for use in nanotechnology. No need for costly analytical or validation testing. This is the initial proposal of this paper. We have heard in many cases experts in their fields, especially in chemistry, to say that nanotechnology is an integral technique from chemistry. Your interests can be pulled into this new science. Although this science was born in physics [1]. One of the intentions of this paper is the search for the emancipation of the nanotechnology through standardization norms, through diagrams, as in engineering [8]. Because, nanoscience and nanotechnology are something of their own, a new discipline with their own ranges of jobs. Therefore, nanotechnology needs to emancipate itself from the classical sciences, and will only be able to achieve this stage after standardization, normalization and with its own scientific, engineering diagrams and technical standards. And this paper will present the way for nanotechnology to finally have its emancipation from the classical sciences.

Highlights

For a technological classification to organize, encourage, direct, improve and professionalize the nanoscience and nanotechnology sector
Following the presented Figure 1, or by referring to the diagram that this paper suggests, for fast classification of complexity for nanotechnology, where do you find your concepts, idea, product or service?
We present a classification procedure for products based on nanotechnology

Summary

Introduction

For a technological classification to organize, encourage, direct, improve and professionalize the nanoscience and nanotechnology sector. To direct the actions of promotional agents, scientists, students, industrialists, investors and researchers. With a rating / ranking, these can direct their focus of action, without wasting time and focus, targeting exactly in a niche. Classify into six large groups, the 6Ns, considering: nanometer, nanoscience, nanotechnology, nanovisualization, nanomanipulation and nanomanufacturing. Initially focusing only on N & N nanoscience and nanotechnology, which contemplates the theoretical academic purist, mathematician, biologist, physicist, versus practical, engineering and commercial, can already be considered two large groups. Through simple questions, we can note a first classification, contemplating:
