  • First Online:
Novel Synthesis and Characterization of Nanostructured Materials

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

Abstract

The Science of Nanomaterials is proving to be one of the most attractive and promising fields for technological development in this century. In the scientific literature several terms related to Nanoscience can be found, of which it is worth highlighting nanoparticles, nanocrystals, nanofibers, nanotubes and nanocomposites. In fact, all these are related to nanostructured materials, which have well-defined structural features. The physical and chemical properties of materials at the nanometer scale (usually set in the range of 1–100 nm) are of immense interest and increasing importance for future technological applications. Nanostructured materials often exhibit different properties when compared to other materials.
