NANO STRUCTURED MATERIALS AND SPECIALITY CHEMICALS
Overview of Nanomaterials
Nanomaterials are usually classified as ones having particle sizes less than 100nm or 0.1 micron. The only way of establishing a nanomaterial is based on TEM analysis. The general rule is that the size of the basic structural components (crystallites, pores, particles, etc) does not exceed 100nm. Nanomaterials usually tend to have a large specific surface area. They are also characterised having different morphologies. They sometimes tend to stay in agglomerated state due to stong attractive van der Waals forces. There are broadly two approaches of manufacturing nanomaterials - Top Down and Bottom Up. Looking at the kind of material that has to be made in nanosize, the most economical method of manufacturing has to be chosen.
The use of nanopowders is generally due to the fact that they show increased reactivity and change in properties compared to bulk forms due to higher specific surface areas and small size. Sometimes agglomerated nanopowders are preferred in applications due to the ease of handling which otherwise can affect human health due to inhalation. Some prefer monodisperse nanopowders and some in dispersion forms. The most suitable is the powder form - with or without adsorbed surfactants which is easy for transportation.
