Abstract

Many methods can synthesize nanomaterials. However, the methods interfere with the behavior of nanomaterials, emerging several applications. There are changes in the properties of nanomaterials through the use of microwave-assisted synthesis. The major changes are size, homogeneous distribution, and morphology modification. Changes are consequences of rapid heating provided by microwaves. These changes modify the mechanical, optical, magnetic, and electrical properties. The behavior of nanomaterials can be enhanced or depreciated depending on the parameters used in the synthesis.
