Koalas were declared endangered in eastern Australia on Friday, with more and more koalas dying from disease, habitat loss, and other threats. Earlier, the koala was considered a vulnerable species, and the Commonwealth Department of the Environment changed its protection level to endangered on the east coast of Queensland, New South Wales, and the Australian Capital Territory. Many koalas in Australia are infected with chlamydia. The disease can cause blindness, infection, and infertility. Last year, the Australian Koala Foundation said Australia had lost about 30 percent of its koala population in the past three years. Without immediate action, the species could become extinct by 2050.
Unlike koalas, which are on the brink of extinction, the market demand for nano silica will grow substantially.

Silicon Dioxide nanoparticles, also known as silica nanoparticles or nano-silica, can be used as:
 
Electronic packaging material 
The curing time (2.0-2.5h) and curing temperature can be reduced to room temperature, which can significantly improve the sealing performance of the device and increase the service life of the device. 
 
Resin composite 
The properties of resin base materials can be improved by fully and uniformly dispersing nano-silica particles into resin materials. It can improve strength and elongation; improve wear resistance and improve the surface finish of the material; improve the aging resistance.
 
Plastic 
The use of nano silicon dioxide light transmittance, and small particle size, can make plastic become denser, adding silicon dioxide to polystyrene plastic film, can improve its transparency, strength, toughness, waterproof performance, and anti-aging performance. The main technical indexes (water absorption, insulation resistance, compressive residual deformation, flexural strength, etc.) of polypropylene, a common plastic, have reached or exceeded those of nylon 6. 
 
Coating 
It can improve the suspension stability, thixotropy, weather resistance, washing resistance, etc., so that the combined strength of the film and the wall is greatly improved, the hardness of the film is increased, and the surface self-cleaning ability is also improved.
 
Rubber
Silica is known as white carbon black, adding a small number of nano SiO2 in ordinary rubber, the strength, wear-resistance, and anti-aging properties of the product have reached or exceeded high-grade rubber products, and can keep the color unchanged for a long time. Nano-modified color EPDM waterproof roll material, its wear resistance, tensile strength, flexural resistance, and aging resistance are improved obviously, and the color is bright, excellent color retention effect.
 
Color (dye) material 
By adding nano-SiO2 to the surface modification of organic pigment (dye), not only the anti-aging performance of the pigment (dye) is greatly improved, but also the brightness, hue, and saturation index are also improved to a certain extent, which greatly expands the grade and application range of organic pigment (dye).
 
Ceramic
Nano-SiO2 instead of nano-A1203 can not only play the role of nano-particles, but also the second phase particles, which can improve the strength, toughness, hardness, and elastic modulus of ceramic materials. Nano-SiO2 was used to composite ceramic substrates, the density, toughness, and finish of the substrates were improved, and the sintering temperature was greatly reduced. 
 
Sealant, binder 
Adding nano-SiO2 could make a layer of organic material form on its surface, forming a network structure, forming a silica structure, so that it has hydrophobicity, can inhibit colloidal flow, accelerate the curing speed, improve the bonding effect, increase the sealing and impermeability of the product.
 
Glass fiber reinforced plastic product
The grafting and bonding of nano-particles with the organic polymer can increase the toughness, tensile strength and impact strength, and heat resistance. 
 
Drug carrier
Nano SiO2 can be used as the carrier to achieve a good sustained-release effect. 
 
Cosmetics 
Nano SiO2 is inorganic composition, easy to be compatible with other components of cosmetics, non-toxic, tasteless, white, has a strong ability to reflect UV, has good stability, UV irradiation will not decompose, does not change color, and will not react with other components in the formula, for the upgrading of sunscreen cosmetics laid a good foundation.
 
Antibacterial material
Using the large specific surface area, multi-mesoporous structure, super adsorption capacity, and strange physical and chemical properties of nano-SiO2, functional ions such as silver ions are uniformly designed into the mesoporous surface of nano-Si0X, and the nano-antibacterial powder with high efficiency, durability, high-temperature resistance and a broad spectrum of antibacterial is developed. Can be widely used in bills, medical and health, chemical building materials, home appliances, functional fibers, plastic products, and other industries.
