2. ▪ Nanotechnology is the study of
manipulating matter on an atomic
scale.
▪ Nanotechnology refers to the
constructing and engineering of
the functional systems at nano
level or we can say at atomic
level.
▪ A Nanometer is one billionth of a
meter.
3. ▪ Ant – 5 mm
▪ Flea – 1 mm
▪ Eye of Fly – 400 micro m
4. ▪ Red Blood Cell – 8 micro m
▪ COVID 19 Virus – 50-140 nm
▪ DNA – 2 nm
▪ Nanoparticle – 1 -100 nm
5. HISTORY
▪ 2000 Years Ago - Sulfide nanocrystals used by Greeks and Romans to dye hair
▪ 1000 Years Ago (Middle Ages) - Gold nanoparticles of different sizes used to produce different
colors in stained glass windows of Medieval Church.
▪ 1959 - There is plenty of room at the bottom" by R. Feynman
▪ 1974 - "Nanotechnology” - Taniguchi uses the term nanotechnology for the first time
▪ 1981 - IBM develops Scanning Tunneling Microscope
▪ 1985 - “Buckyball” - Scientists at Rice University and University of Sussex discover Ceo
▪ 1986 - “Engines of Creation” - First book on nanotechnology byK. Eric Drexler. Atomic Force
Microscope invented by Binnig, Quate and Gerbe
▪ 1989 - IBM logo made with individual atoms
▪ 1991 - Carbon nanotube discovered by S. lijima1999 - "Nanomedicine" - 1st nanomedicine book
by R. Freitas
▪ 2000 – “National Nanotechnology Initiative" launched

have a much greater surface
area to volume ratio

20. TYPES OF NANOMATERIALS
▪ Zero dimensional
nanomaterial: all the
dimensions are measured
within the nanoscale (no
dimensions are larger
than 100 nm). Most
commonly, 0D
nanomaterials are
nanoparticles.
▪ One-dimensional
nanomaterial: one
dimension is outside
the nanoscale.This
class includes
nanotubes, nanorods,
and nanowires.
▪ Two-dimensional nanomaterial:
This type of material two
dimensions are outside the
nanoscale.This class
exhibits plate-like shapes
and includes graphene,
nanofilms, nanolayers, and
nanocoatings.
▪ Three-dimensional nanomaterial: That are not confined to the nanoscale in any
dimension.This class can contain bulk powders, dispersions of nanoparticles,
bundles of nanowires, and nanotubes as well as multi-nanolayers.
27. QUANTUM
CONFINEMENT
▪ Restrictions of flow of electrons.
▪ Zero Dimensional – No flow of
electrons in all the three axis
▪ One Dimensional – Flow of electrons
restricted in two directions
▪ Two Dimensional – Flow of electrons
restricted in one direction
▪ Three Dimensional – No restrictions
