Nanomaterials and their Classification

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
EMR/ESR/EPR Spectroscopy for Characterization of Nanomaterials

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 62))

Abstract

In this chapter, we present a general classification of nanomaterials based on their dimensionality, shape, and composition. According to their dimensionality, nanomaterials include nanoparticles, nanotubes, and nanofilms. Nanomaterials can be made of single elements, such as metals or carbon, or multiple elements, such as metal oxides or composites. We review the most used types of nanomaterials up to date showing examples of their morphologies. The physicochemical properties of a material in nanoform can be very different from its bulk counterpart, depending not only on the type of materials, but on its size, shape, and functionalization. We discuss the most important physicochemical properties of nanomaterials, among which are morphology, dispersability, crystalline phase, melting temperature, and magnetic properties.
