Advanced Nanomaterials and Nanoparticles
Nanomaterials
are the materials with any external dimension in the nanoscale or having
internal structure or surface structure in the nanoscale. The very large
external area of these nanomaterials may result in unique physical and chemical
properties, such as increased catalytic activity, improved solubility behavior. Nanomaterials are composed of structures at
the nanoscale, usually achieved through specifically designed self-assembly
processes. They acquire unique electronic, optical, mechanical, magnetic,
catalytic things, which cannot be achieved without their nano-architecture.
Nanomaterials are already found in an extensive variety of consumer products,
such as textiles, paints, sunscreens and additional healthcare products. Nanotechnology has to provide a new platform
for medicine development. As a result of unique features, nanomaterials have
been widely studied and applied in the medical field.
Such
advanced nanomaterials provide extraordinary opportunities for tuning their
properties in a very broad range. It is a vigorously developing field of modern
research with a wide spectrum of applications extending from nanoelectronics and energy harvesting to
biology and nanomedicine.
Nanoparticles:
Nanoparticles
are particles that occur on a nanometre scale. They can hold physical
properties such as uniformity, conductance optical properties that make them
desired in materials science and biology. Nanoparticles may or may not display
size-related properties that are seen in appropriate particles. Nanoparticles
are wide class of materials that include particulate substances, which have one
dimension less than 100 nm at least. Control over nanoparticle size
dissemination and nanoparticle shape, surface properties and dispersion,
aggregation stability as well as over elemental and nanocrystalline composition
is often crucial for designing new materials for specific applications.
Nanofilm width, roughness and layer properties are serious parameters in
thin-film applications. Nanoparticles are used in a wide spectrum of
applications.
Nanoparticles can be classified into any of
several types, according to their size, shape, and material properties such as
hard, silica particles, and or as soft. The classification of nanoparticles
typically depends on their application, such as in diagnosis or therapy versus
basic research, or may be related to the way in which they were produced. Thus,
nanoparticles have a vast range of structures, depending on the use or the
product.
