What are the applications?
The four main areas of applications concerned in the short or medium term are: Health, Daily Life, Security/Defense and Sustainable Development. Here are some examples representing hydrophobic and anti-graffiti surfaces. An inventory of "nano" products for each sector and principal applications by type of nanoparticles is referenced on: www.inrs.fr.

Type of water separation membrane using graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets [M. Hu et al., Environmental Science and Technology 47 (2013) 3715-3723].
Saving energy resources (decreasing the weight, and improving the performance) and scarce resources (in catalysts for exhaust pipes, fuel cells, or batteries) or limiting pollution (ultra filtration of water, de-pollution of soil) contribute to sustainable development.
