According To Iran News, An Iranian knowledge-based company has used nanotechnology to develop a special coating that prevents the growth of marine organisms, such as moss, on the outer layer of the hull of ships.

The anti-fouling material invented by the Iranian company prevents undesirable accumulation of moss on the wetted surface of vessels’ hull.

The coating is also environment-friendly, does not release any chemical material into the sea, and reduces the use of biocides.

In addition to the hull of ships, the nano-coating could be applied to coastal structures and piers, as well as military submarines.

The Iranian knowledge-based company has tested the new coating for five years before starting its mass-production.

The anti-fouling layer lasts for at least five years and functions like shark and dolphin skin.

The problem of adhesion of moss to the vessel’s hull increases frictional resistance and fuel consumption, and decreases the vessel’s speed.

In October, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei assured Iranian knowledge-based companies and the enterprises working on advanced technologies that he would do the best to remove obstacles in the way of the youths’ scientific progress.

Back in March and after opening a specialized pharmaceutical plant in Tehran, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani assured the private sector of his administration’s support for knowledge-based projects and research activities contributing to national production.

“The administration will seriously support all private sectors in the field of production, particularly those doing knowledge-based activities and the activities on the basis of knowledge and research,” Rouhani said on March 21.

What is nanotechnology?

Generally, nanotechnology is a field of research and innovation concerned with building ‘things’ – materials and devices – on the scale of nanometer – one-billionth of a meter.

As Aznano describes, nanotechnology is hailed as having the potential to increase the efficiency of energy consumption, help clean the environment, and solve major health problems. It is said to be able to massively increase manufacturing production at significantly reduced costs. Nanotech advocates claim that products of nanotechnology will be smaller, cheaper, lighter yet more functional and require less energy and fewer raw materials to manufacture.

Nanotechnology in Iran

Iran’s first researches in this field started in 2000 and with publishing 9 articles, the country achieved the rank of 52 in that year.

The national nanotechnology development headquarters was established in 2005, with the aim of making policies, assessing achievements in field of nanotechnologies, raising public awareness about nanoscience, improving quality of life and creating lucrative markets.

Recognizing the great importance of nanotechnology, Iranians have had boosted researches in the field year on year.

There are 257 companies active in this field, 33 percent of which working on nanomaterials, ISNA reported on Tuesday.

These companies have manufactured 376 different products using the nontechnology, showing that this is a field with huge economic and practical advantages.

The reports also demonstrate that these products are being exported to 47 different countries.
