Nanoparticles by Ultrasound Irradiation: Organic and Inorganic Materials

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology

Abstract

Ultrasonic irradiation has become a versatile tool in a variety of synthetic pathways of organic, inorganic and composite materials at “nanorange”. Basically, the ultrasonic waves in a medium, generally, a liquid, provide the phenomenon called acoustic cavitation, which can result in an energy gain by heating reactional system. In this chapter, it is reported that the ultrasound-driven chemical reactions to generate a wide broad of nanoparticle types, specifically by co-precipitation and interface reactions. Herein, a deeply literature review is provided, describing the synthesis of nanomaterials, from metal oxides to polymer-based particles, under ultrasound irradiation, and “how” the chosen of the sonochemistry strategy can tailor the size and shape of these nanomaterials and, consequently, their unique properties.
