General Introduction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Synthesis of Nanoparticles and Nanomaterials

Abstract

This chapter presents a brief introduction on the physical, physico-chemical, chemical, and biological properties of nanoparticles and nanomaterials, as well as their morphology including size parameters, size distribution, and shape characteristics. Methods for the determination of particle size and diameter are explained using fundamental equations. The general techniques for the synthesis of nanomaterials and nanopowders are described briefly in Scheme 1.1.
