Nanotechnology: Interdisciplinary science of applications

Abstract

Nanotechnology is the study of particle sizes between 1 and 100 nanometers at least at one dimension. Particle size reduced to nanometer length scale exhibit more surface area to volume size ratio and showing unusual properties makes them enable for systematic applications in engineering, biomedical, agricultural and allied sectors. Nanomaterial can create from bottom up or top down approaches using physical, chemical and biological mode of synthesis.

Keywords: Nanotechnology, nanomaterial, nanobiotechnology, nanotech-applications
