Nanomaterials are materials that have at least one external dimension measuring 1 to 100 nanometers (nm) or have internal structures at the nanoscale. Due to their extremely small size, nanomaterials exhibit unique physical, chemical, and mechanical properties that differ from their bulk counterparts.
Key Characteristics of Nanomaterials:✅ High Surface Area – Increased reactivity and interaction with other materials.
✅ Enhanced Strength & Durability – Stronger than conventional materials.
✅ Improved Electrical & Thermal Properties – Useful in electronics and energy storage.
✅ Optical & Magnetic Effects – Used in imaging, sensors, and medicine.
