Abstract

Nanotechnology, as a cutting-edge technology, has demonstrated irreplaceable application value and broad prospects in ensuring food security, promoting the green and sustainable development of agriculture, enhancing the precision of cancer treatment and reducing medical side effects, as well as breaking through the bottlenecks of flexible electronic materials and adapting to new scenarios such as wearable devices. This article takes the core research and development plans and key technological breakthrough activities of nanotechnology in three major fields as the analysis objects, systematically sorts out its research and development priorities and commercial application trends, and focuses on analyzing the practical experience in the risk assessment of nanotechnology in each field . This article systematically reviews the application mechanisms, typical cases and existing challenges of nanotechnology in three major fields. In the agricultural food sector, it focuses on controlled-release nano-pesticides, nano-materials for antibacterial and barrier effects, and nano-sensors for high-sensitivity detection and in the cancer treatment field, it revolves around nano-carriers for targeted delivery, combined treatment for synergy, and integrated diagnosis and treatment. In the flexible electronics field, it elaborates on nano-silver conductive networks, cellulose-based substrates for support, and composite device optimization.
