NANOTECHNOLOGY

This book is based on studies on nanoparticle synthesis, characterization, and applications. In view of the importance of nanoscience in modern technology, nanoparticles have been the subject of substantial investigation in science and technology. This book provides an overview of the synthesis processes, including physicochemical and green approaches, as well as numerous characterization methods and applications of nanotechnology in a wide range of domains. There are five chapters in the book: The first chapter discusses the history of nanotechnology, current trends in nanotechnology, behaviors, and different types of nanomaterials. The second chapter describes the various nanoparticle synthesis processes. The approaches from the top down and bottom up are reviewed. The third chapter addresses the environmentally friendly processes used in nanoparticle synthesis. The elements that influence the biological production of NPs are discussed. The fourth chapter discusses characterization processes that are critical in assessing nanoparticle quality. The fifth chapter discusses the use of NPs in numerous fields, including science and technology.
