What Is Nanomaterials? What Are Their Applications?
Nanotechnology is constantly
serving and revolutionizing many technologies and industries including
transportation, information technology, environmental science, energy and
others. Nanotechnology makes it possible to engineer material structure at
extremely small scales and achieve specific properties such as enhanced
chemical reactivity or conductivity. These chemical substances and materials
come in a variety of products such as nanoclays, nanofibers, nanotubes and
others, collectively called as nanomaterials. Nanomaterials, as defined, have
at least one dimension in the nanoscale. Nanomaterials are increasingly being
used in the manufacturing of smart materials like smart wearable and sensors.
