Techopedia Explains Nanopaint

Nanopaints differ from ordinary paints in that they are capable of changing their properties according to conditions or upon a certain command. It is so far tested to be efficient in blocking harmful UV, IR and other types of radiation from directly affecting the surface. This process saves huge sums of money annually that would otherwise be spent repairing damage due to weather and external conditions.

Similarly, radio frequency (RF) waves can also be blocked or allowed depending on the wavelength by applying this paint. Particle nanotechnology can also be used in saving energy by absorbing the heat energy from sunlight.
