A multitude of day-to-day products have complex structures which are often explored with neutrons. The mechanics behind their property can be used for developing other complex fluids and soft materials within the manufacturing industry.

Today neutrons have contributed to the development of a large range of other products, such as plastics, cleaners. cosmetics and synthetic fibres for the textile industry.

In the future, the processing industry can be just as important, and chemical processes can be made more efficient and less hazardous to the environment.

Purification processes can be made more efficient. It can be easier to clean contaminated drinking water, a common problem in developing countries. It can be possible to wash contaminated soil without washing away the fertile substances from the soil. It can be feasible to find methods to melting down hazardous waste to separating out the toxic substances. Or gather valuable chemicals from other waste material.
