Abstract
Nanoparticles are seen either as building blocks of tailored properties for nanostructured materials, nanocomponents and nanodevices, or as enhancement agents of various physical, chemical or biological processes. Corresponding manufacturing processes may be arranged into four groups: synthesis of nanoparticles; processing/conversion of nanoparticles into functional nanostructures; utilization of nanoparticles for specific effects or phenomena; and process control. Particle synthesis via aerosols, colloids, combustion, plasmas, self-assembly techniques and other processes at high production rates has been a major research objective in the last few years. Future research is focused on particle processing into functional nanostructures and devices, hierarchical modeling, and particle utilization. The multiphase transport aspects (including particle-fluid and interparticle forces, rheological properties of powders, sorting, mixing, filtration, sintering, assembling, and interaction with external fields) and transient aspects have received less attention than the analysis of physical, chemical and biological aspects. A brief overview of research programs on nanoparticles and nanotechnology existing in several countries are presented.
