Modeling of Nanotoxicity

Abstract

Metal oxides, sulfides, and other related nanostructures are another major class of nanomaterials that play a very important role in many areas of chemistry, physics, and materials science [1] . The metal elements are able to form a large diversity of oxide, sulfide, and other compound nanostructures [1].
