A review on Characteristics and Applications of Nanomaterials

Rahul Jain, K. M. Singh

Abstract


Nanomaterials are cornerstones of nanoscience and nanotechnology. These are classified as nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, nanolayers and nanopores. Due to unique properties, nanomaterials have gained the attention of scientific community. This review paper presents recently developed innovative production approaches viz: Top-down and Bottom-up approach. The goal of this paper is to investigate the application field of nanomaterials for industrial environment such as cosmetics, paints, batteries, displays, catalysis, food, medicine etc. KEYWORDS: Nanomaterials-production methods, properties, applications.
