Abstract

In recent years nanoscience and nanotechnology are being developed very rapidly. The reduction of particle size and tunning the particle morphology of materials from micro to nanosize leads to the unique properties and helps in versatile applications. The reason for the nanomaterials (NMs) to exhibit enhanced properties is due to the large surface-to-volume ratio and quantum confinement effect. This chapter discusses the history and development of nanomaterials and nanotechnology, different types and classes of NMs, state of the production, the physicochemical properties of NMs including size, optoelectronic, toxicity, self aggregation and so on.
