2. Historical background
Nanoparticles were firstly used in 9th century for generating Glittering effect on
surface of pots.
Richard A. Zsigmonday firstly observed and measured size of nanomaterials, He
also used the term ‘nanometer’for characterizing particle size.
Richard Feyman in 1959 lectured, ‘there is plenty of room at bottom’ and provided
the inspiration to the field of nanotechnology.
A Japanese scientist Norio Taniguchi firstly used the term ‘ Nanotechnology’in
1974.
3. Historical background
With the invention of scanning tunnelling microscope and discovery of fullerenes in
80s, nanotechnology has greatly emerged.
In early 2000s, there were seen a huge landmark in applications of nanomaterials.
Nanotechnology is the technology usinfobjects or structures or phenomena at
nanometer scale.
4. Introduction
What are nanomaterials?
The set of substances where at least one dimension is less than approximately 100
nanometers.
The chemical and physical properties of solid materials strongly depend on size and
the shape of small particles.
Nanochemistry is the synthesis, analysis and characterization of chemical
compounds at nanoscale.
5. Introduction
Nanomaterials are based on nanoscience and nanotechnology
Nanoscience is the science of objects in the size regime of nanometer where the
particles perform some special properties
Nanotechnology is the technology using objects or structure or phenomena at
nanometer scale.
6. Introduction
What is special about Nanotechnology?
It is incredibly broad, interdisciplinary field
Require expertise in physics, chemistry, material science and biology.
Boundary line between atoms, molecules and the macroworld
7. Introduction
Particles having size in the range of 1 to 100 nm are termed as nanoparticles and the
applications of nanoparticles is whatever called nanotechnology.
9. Classification
Classification on the basis of Origin
1. Natural nanomaterials: coming from resource of nature, these are virus, protiens
and antibodies. Some minerals like clay, gelatin, natural collides, shells and coral
etc are natural nanomerials.
2. Artificial nanomaterials: those which are prepared deliberately through a well
defined mechanical and fabrication processes, like carbon nano tubes, quantum
dots and semiconductor nanparticles.
10. Classification
Classification on the basis of Materials
1. Carbon based materials: mostly carbon composed, hollow spheres (fullerenes) or
tubes (nanotubes), these have wide potential applications.
2. Metal based materials: Quantum dosts, nanogold, nanosilver and metal oxides
like TiO2 are examples of it.
3. Dendrimers: nanosized polymers built from branched units are dendrimers.
Surfaces of dendrimers has branch ends performing special function. They are used
in drug delivery.
4. Composites: these are bulk type materials
11. Classification
Classification on the basis of Dimensions
1. Zero-dimensional:
these are the materials wherein all the dimensions are determined
They have no dimension or 0-D, larger than 100nm.
These are nanoparticles, they might be crystalline, amorphous, single
crystalline or polycrystalline.
The term nanoparticles encompass all 0-D nanosized building blocks
(regardless of size and morphology).
