Abstract

Nanotech and nanoscience have no doubt become a cliché in today’s world. There are many research groups in the world that are currently working to understand the strange and unique properties of materials at nanoscale regime. The motivation for this chapter is to inculcate a feeling of interest and to illustrate the recent developments in the field of nanotechnology for electronics. This chapter focuses on the number of applications of nanotechnology which is extensively implemented in day-to-day lifestyle of humans. The chief areas of applications are in the field of electronics, aeronautics, robotics, biomedical, chemical, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. The emergence of this fascinating field has created a scientific revolution that will impact several technological areas. The interest in the field is due to the unique behavior and phenomenon exhibited by the engineered materials at nanolength scale. More than a decade of focused research in this field has already resulted into commercializing several products using engineered nanomaterials. This chapter primarily focuses on nanostructures, application of nanotechnology, graphene as nanomaterial and also includes their properties, synthesis, and applications. The primary focus of this chapter is on nanomaterial into electronics applications. The properties of these applications are studied, and their behavior is observed that is why they are being acknowledged as the wonder materials.
