Nanotechnology is science, technology, and engineering that is directed at the nano scale (1-100 nm). This is a diverse and attractive field, owing to its unique properties and applications. The surface- to- volume ratio is the most important property of a material, which makes a clear difference between bulk materials and materials at nano scale. Nano can be referring to materials, particles, thin films, wires, fibers, etc. Nanotechnology is a revolutionary method for developing of new systems and technologies. In this study, the types of nano materials on their structures are discussed. The remarkable properties of the nanomaterials have also been explained. Common characterization techniques are explained and highlight the applications of nano materials. The conclusions of all the sections are presented at the end of the paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
