Abstract

The whole world considers that we are now living in the nanotechnology century, where the new technology has entered all fields of science and its applications and caused the amazing rapid development of the machines and devices we currently use.
Nanoscience and nanotechnology are concerned with handling and controlling materials at a nanometer, One nanometer is a billionth of a meter, one millionth of a millimeter, or10-9 of a meter .
At the nanoscale , the properties of the substance (mechanical, chemical, electronic, electrical, etc.) are much different than they were in their normal state. The atoms of the substance can be rearranged to form other known substances or materials that have not been seen before, as the atomic arrangement changes as the material changes largely.
By improving the properties of materials or by imparting unusual properties and functions; Nanotechnology offers huge areas that can be exploited and applied in the furniture sector.
This research explains the most important applications of Nanotechnology in the field of furniture in our time.
