The team from Utrecht University and Dow Chemical Co produced ethylene and propylene – precursors of materials found in everything from CDs to carrier bags and carpets – after developing a new kind of iron catalyst made of nanoparticles. Existing bioplastics, which are made from crops such as corn and sugar, have only limited use as they are not exact substitutes for oil-based products.

Abdel-Mottaleb: This is a statement used by people who are simply trying to maintain the status quo; it is absolutely baseless and has no foundation whatsoever. Actually, if anything, nanotechnology is one of the best options for Egypt to move forward, whether it is on a scientific basis or economical basis.
