About
Nanotechnology is a very general term and a multidisciplinary Science and technology. Currently, there is no universally accepted definition of the term “Nanotechnology” that is generally accepted. However, if at least one dimension of the geometrical size of a material is below 100 nanometers it can be called nanostructured materials. Therefore, nanotechnology can be defined as the art and science of manipulating matter at the nanoscale “1 to 100 nm range” to create new and unique materials and products.
