  2. Nanomaterials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanomaterials

    Nanomaterials describe, in principle, chemical substances or materials of which a single unit is sized (in at least one dimension) between 1 and 100 nm (the usual definition of nanoscale [1]). Nanomaterials research takes a materials science -based approach to nanotechnology , leveraging advances in materials metrology and synthesis which have ...

  3. Nanocomposite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanocomposite

    In the broadest sense this definition can include porous media, colloids, gels and copolymers, but is more usually taken to mean the solid combination of a bulk matrix and nano-dimensional phase(s) differing in properties due to dissimilarities in structure and chemistry. The mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, electrochemical, catalytic ...

  4. Nanostructure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanostructure

    A nanostructure is a structure of intermediate size between microscopic and molecular structures.Nanostructural detail is microstructure at nanoscale.. In describing nanostructures, it is necessary to differentiate between the number of dimensions in the volume of an object which are on the nanoscale.

  5. Carbon nanotube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_nanotube

    The fundamental advantage of an integrated graphene-CNT structure is the high surface area three-dimensional framework of the CNTs coupled with the high edge density of graphene. Depositing a high density of graphene foliates along the length of aligned CNTs can significantly increase the total charge capacity per unit of nominal area as ...

  6. Nanotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotechnology

    Dimensionality plays a major role in determining the characteristic of nanomaterials including physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. With the decrease in dimensionality, an increase in surface-to-volume ratio is observed. This indicates that smaller dimensional nanomaterials have higher surface area compared to 3D nanomaterials.

  7. Nanorod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanorod

    InGaN/GaN nanorod array light-emitting diodes can be manufactured with dry etching or focused ion beam etching techniques. [6] Such LEDs emit polarized blue or green light [7] Three-dimensional nanorod structures have a larger emitting surface, which results in better efficiency and light emission compared to planar LEDs. [8]

  8. Nanofiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanofiber

    The method was inspired by the natural folding process of amino acid residues to form proteins with unique three-dimensional structures. [53] The self-assembly process of peptide nanofibers involves various driving forces such as hydrophobic interactions , electrostatic forces , hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces and is influenced by ...

  9. Quantum dot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_dot

    The improved photostability of quantum dots, for example, allows the acquisition of many consecutive focal-plane images that can be reconstructed into a high-resolution three-dimensional image. [81] Another application that takes advantage of the extraordinary photostability of quantum dot probes is the real-time tracking of molecules and cells ...
