Introduction to Nanomaterials
N.B. Singh
In the last few years, nanoscience and nanotechnology have become a very important branch of science and technology. 10-9 stands for nano and particles size less than 100 nm are said to be nanomaterial. Nanoscience connects chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, engineering sciences and others. Nanomaterials are synthesized in a number of ways, but the conventional methods are costly, time consuming and pollute the environment. However, green routes are becoming popular. Synthesized nanomaterials are characterized by using a number of techniques and they are useful in different sectors. A general introduction in brief is given in this chapter.
