Nano/Biotechnology
Research and Development
Nano/biotechnology as a promising field has wide range of applications such as agriculture, food and nutrition science, and biomedicine. In the modern world, nano/biotechnology is moving toward effectively combination of the biology and engineering that provides new insights of research in multidisciplinary areas.
Professionals at Advanced CERT Canada are developing natural polymers-based formulations for controlled release of biocides and fertilizers. These biodegradable nanoparticles (less than 300nm) are dissolved in water more effectively than available ones, leading to high motivation in utilizing them.
