The Science of Nanomaterials: Basics and Applications

Nanoparticles have a smaller size as compared to their micro, macro, or bulk counterparts. Reduction in size of these particles provides them with some unique characteristics, such as surface-to-volume ratio, quantum confinement effect, surface plasmon response, widening of band gap, etc. These nanoparticles have attracted attention of scientists all over the globe in last few decades.
