Specifically concerning **organic chemistry**, but an explanation on its significance and applications in inorganic chemistry would be great as well.




There is branch named [Chemical Nanoscience and Nanotechnology](http://www.rsc.org/Membership/Networking/InterestGroups/ChemicalNanoscience/) Which deals with chemistry asspects.


Talking about organic chemistry, nanotechnology is used for Organic synthesis. 


With help of Modern Chemistry today we can synthesis almost all complex molecules, thanks to nanotechnology.

For organic chemistry, [Polymer nanotechnology](http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0032386108003157) is developed notably. Polymer matrix and nanocomposites have become a prominent area of current research and development
