They have unique mechanical, optical, and electrical properties due to increased surface area and quantum confinement effect. They can be classified into engineered, incidental, and natural categories. Examples include quantum dots, computer chips, and nanotubes. This book covers new techniques and applications of nanomaterials, highlighting their impact on the discipline and serving as a valuable reference for those interested in this field ER -
