  2. Nanomaterials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanomaterials

    Nanomaterials research takes a materials science-based approach to nanotechnology, leveraging advances in materials metrology and synthesis which have been developed in support of microfabrication research. Materials with structure at the nanoscale often have unique optical, electronic, thermo-physical or mechanical properties.

  3. Chemosynthesis (nanotechnology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemosynthesis...

    CBD synthesis of these films allows for both cost-effective and accurate assemblies, with grain type and size as well as optical properties of the nanomaterial dictated by the properties of the surrounding bath. As such, this method of nanoscale chemosynthesis is often implemented when these properties are desired, and can be used for a wide ...

  4. Nanochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanochemistry

    Nanochemistry is an emerging sub-discipline of the chemical and material sciences that deals with the development of new methods for creating nanoscale materials. [1] The term "nanochemistry" was first used by Ozin in 1992 as 'the uses of chemical synthesis to reproducibly afford nanomaterials from the atom "up", contrary to the nanoengineering and nanophysics approach that operates from the ...

  5. Self-assembly of nanoparticles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-assembly_of_nanoparticles

    The top-down approach is breaking down of a system into small components, while bottom-up is assembling sub-systems into larger system. [15] A bottom-up approach for nano-assembly is a primary research target for nano-fabrication because top down synthesis is expensive (requiring external work) and is not selective on very small length scales, but is currently the primary mode of industrial ...

  6. Polymer nanocomposite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_nanocomposite

    The template method to be described in the following has the advantage such that it allows the preparation of nanotubes and nanorods with very high precision. The method is based on the use of well defined porous templates, such as porous aluminum or silicon. The basic concept of this method is to exploit wetting processes. A polymer melt or ...

  7. Nanotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotechnology

    Synthetic chemical methods can be used to create synthetic molecular motors, such as in a so-called nanocar. Biomimetic approaches Bionics or biomimicry seeks to apply biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology.

  8. In situ polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_polymerization

    In polymer chemistry, in situ polymerization is a preparation method that occurs "in the polymerization mixture" and is used to develop polymer nanocomposites from nanoparticles. There are numerous unstable oligomers ( molecules ) which must be synthesized in situ (i.e. in the reaction mixture but cannot be isolated on their own) for use in ...

  9. Nanobiotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanobiotechnology

    In contrast to chemical and physical methods, microbial processes for synthesizing nanomaterials can be achieved in aqueous phase under gentle and environmentally benign conditions. This approach has become an attractive focus in current green bionanotechnology research towards sustainable development.
