Nanomaterials are materials engineered at the nanoscale, where unique properties and functions emerge that are not observable in the same material’s bulk form. These materials typically range from approximately 1 to 100 nanometers in at least one dimension. Due to their extremely small size and high surface area to volume ratio, nanomaterials exhibit distinctive physical, chemical, and biological properties, including increased strength, lighter weight, enhanced control of light spectrum, and greater chemical reactivity than their larger-scale counterparts.
