Definition

Nanoparticles are small discrete particles or amalgamation of a few hundred atoms ranging a size of 1–100 nm which show different characteristics based on their morphological, chemical, and optical properties because of their high surface to volume ratio and nanoscale size.

Introduction

Nanomaterials are small discrete particles with sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nm. These materials have different characteristics based on their morphological, chemical, and optical properties. According to the European Commission, most of the nanoparticles are amalgamation of a few hundred atoms as given in Table 1.
