Nanotechnology defined

A general term that describes the process of designing or making something at the nanoscale. This is generally 100 nanometres, 100 millionthsof a millimetre (or 100 billionthsof a metre). You can also find advice or systems that manipulate individual atoms and molecules. Nanomaterials usually refer to materials having at least one outer dimension less than 100 nanometers, and internal structures less than 100 nm. You can find them in the form particles, tubes and rods as well as fibres.
ISO/TS 80004 describes nanomaterials as "materials with any dimension at nanoscale, or with internal structure or a surface structure at nanoscale". Nanoscale refers to the length of a range from approximately 1 nm up 100 nm. It includes both nanoobjects which can be considered discrete parts of materials and nanostructured substances which may have an internal or external structure at the nanoscale.


Sources
Natural, functional nanomaterials are often used in biological systems. Natural organic nanomaterials include the structure of foraminifera, which is mainly made of chalk, viruses, proteins, capsid, spider, spider-mite, and other biological systems.

The crystal growth of natural organic nanomaterials occurs in various chemical conditions within the Earth's crust. Clays are one example of complex nanostructures that result from anisotromy of the underlying crystal structure. Opals may be formed by volcanic activity and can also occur naturally due to their nanoscale structure. The complex reaction of fire can lead to pigments and cement as well as fumed silica.
There are many natural sources of nanoparticles. These include forest fires, volcano spray and radioactive decay from radon gas. The weathering of anion- or metal-containing rocks and acid mine drainage can create natural nanomaterials.

Types
The number of nano-objects that fall within the nanoscale is often used to classify them. One definition of a nanoparticle is one that has all three exterior dimensions within the nanoscale. Nanorods, which are hollow nanofibers, and nanotubes, which are solid nanofibers, can be described as a nanoparticle. The nanoplate's external dimensions include one. Nanoribbons are created when the larger two dimensions of the plate differ by significant. Nanofibers and nanoplates have one dimension in nanoscale. However, any other dimensions must be at least twice that size. Many nanostructured substances are classified by the phases of matter in which they exist.
A nanocomposite, a solid having at most one chemically or physically distinct area, is one that has at least one dimension at the nanoscale. The nanofoam contains a liquid, solid, or gaseous matrix filled with a phase. Each of the phases is measured on the nanoscale. The nanoporous substance is solid material that contains nanopores and cavities, with dimensions at the nanoscale.

Applications
Many nanomaterials are used in manufacturing and healthcare. These include paints, filters and insulation. These nanomaterials have similar enzyme properties to Nanozymes. Nanozymes are an emerging form of artificial enzyme. They have been applied in many areas such as biosensing/bioimaging, cancer diagnosis, and other biofouling. Paints use nanomaterials to enhance UV protection, and make it easier to clean. The use of nanotechnology in the field of air purification was instrumental in preventing the spread MERS to Saudi Arabian hospitals. The use of nanomaterials in insulation systems is modern, safe and effective. The ability of nanomaterials as lubricant additives reduces friction in moving parts. TriboTEX is a self-assembling nanoparticle that repairs corroded and worn parts. Nanomaterials can also bu used in three-way-catalyst (TWC)applications.TWC converters have the advantage of controlling the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOX), which are precursors to acid rain and smog. The nanomaterials create a shell to support the noble metals, such as palladiu-rhodium. They can also be used to carry active catalyst components. The support's primary purpose is to make them dispersed. This reduces noble metal use, enhances catalysts activity and improves mechanical strength.
