Nano Materials

Nano Materials

Nanomaterials describe, in principle, materials of which a single unit is sized (in at least one dimension) between 1 and 100 nm.

Nanomaterials research takes a materials science-based approach to nanotechnology, leveraging advances in materials metrology and synthesis which have been developed in support of microfabrication research. Materials with structure at the nanoscale often have unique optical, electronic, thermo-physical or mechanical properties and are slowly becoming commercialized and beginning to emerge as commodities.

Types are;

Nano porous materials
Nano particles
Fullerenes
Metal-based nanoparticles
One-dimensional nano structures
Two-dimensional nano structures
Bulk nano structured materials
