Abstract

Nanotechnology deals with studies of phenomena and manipulation on elements of matter at the atomic, molecular and macromolecular level (rangefrom1to100nm), where the properties of matter are significantly different from properties at larger scales of dimensions. Nanotechnology is science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nm where nano denotes the scale range of 10-9 and nanotechnology refers the properties of atoms and molecules measuring thoroughly 0.1 to 1000 nm. Nanotechnology is highly interdisciplinary as a field, and it requires knowledge drawn from a variety of scientific and engineering arenas. There are two main types of approaches to nanotechnology: the first approach is Top-down and another one is Bottom-up approach. The Top-down approach involves taking layer structures that are either reduced down size until they reach the nano-scale or deacon structured into their composite parts. This paper aims to deal with Top-down approach in order to utilize Biopolymer nanoparticles for Creating Antimicrobial for chicken feed so that the live average time of chicken will be increased noticeably by using max-min optimization approach. Finally, the applicability of the proposed approach and the solution methodologies are demonstrated in three steps.
