NANOCHEMISTRY
Nanochemistry is an emerging new field of chemistry, in particular of solid-state chemistry, which emphasizes the study and development of preparation methods of useful materials with nanometer- size dimensions (1–100 nm). Where is nanochemistry used in? Nanochemistry is used in chemical, materials and physical science as well as engineering, biological, and medical applications. Silica, gold, polydimethylsiloxane, cadmium selenide, iron oxide, and carbon are materials that show its transformative power. What are the basic concepts of nanochemistry ? Adopting a completely new and visionary approach, this is a unique learning tool, focusing on just six concepts crucial for understanding nanochemistry: surface, size, shape, self-assembly, defects and the interface of biology and nanochemistry. What are the properties of nanocarriers? Nanocarriers have the ability to be functionalized with different molecules via chemical conjugation or simple adsorption. Examples of such molecules ar...
