Definition of Nanotechnology? It’s the design , characterization ,

production & applications of structures , devices & systems by controlling shape & size at nanometer scale

In other words it’s the field of applied Science focused on design, formation, identification & application of material &devices on nanoscale

Ability to control, to see, measure & manipulate- matter on atomic & molecular scale to exploit those properties and functions

Ability to integrate those properties into systems spanning from nano to microscopic scales

Unique properties of nanoscale particles

Chemical reactivity of nanoscale materials is greatly different from more macroscopic form, e.g., gold

Quantum size effects result in unique

mechanical, electronic, photonic, and magnetic properties of nanoscale materials

New chemical forms of common chemical elements, e.g., fullerenes, nanotubes of carbon, titanium oxide, zinc oxide & other layered compounds

Carbon Nanotubes

Nanoporous materials

Zeolite is an old example which has been around a long time and used by petroleum industry as catalysts

The surface area of a solid increases when it becomes nanoporous; this improves catalyst effects, adsorption properties

‘Adsorption’ is like ‘absorption’ except the absorbed material is held near the surface rather than inside

How to make nanopores? -lithography followed by etching -ion beam etching/milling -

electrochemical techniques

- sol-gel techniques

Impact of nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is expected to have a variety of economic, social, environmental & national security impacts. In 2000,the National Science Foundation began working with the National Nanotechnology Initiative(NNI) to address nanotechnology’s possible impacts & to propose ways of minimizing any undesirable consequences.

Finally, nanotechnology can be expected to be involved in better monitoring of peace & inspection agreements. Efforts to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons or to detect the existence of biological & chemical weapons may can be improved with nanotech devices.
