Folks- Consider the nanotech of polymer science- controlled blockiness,
facilitated by the breakthroughs of ATRP, iniferters and other
approaches have delivered to the marketplace materials with engineered
nanodomain architecture with precisely controlled properties.

List all of them, no, there's too many.

Some of the things it is in (to give you a flavour) is in paint (non
scratch), textiles (stain and water resistant), CPU's (manufacturing
process's), solarpanels, medical drugs and drug delivery, sunscreen,
tennis
balls, toothpaste etc etc. The list is extensive, if you wanted you
could
also add in things like alcohol production, vaccines etc etc as they are
basically nanotech, just using existing biological structures which have
been around for longer than the human race.

Most of the current nanotech is being used to improve current
technologies,
the main question is when will we see new products based on nanotech?
