what is nanotechnology?
Manipulation of matter at the nanoscale to generate size- dependent functionalities different from atom/molecules/bulk materials.
what is nanomaterial?
Material with at least one of its dimension is between 1-100 nm
nanomaterials are expected to produce fibers ___ times stronger than steel at only ___th the weight— almost certainly the strongest fibers that will ever be made out of anything.”

what does nanoscale mean?
1-100 nanometre
what does The term “nanoscale properties/phenomena” means
properties which are attributable to size and their effects; these properties are distinguishable from the chemical or physical properties of individual atoms, individual molecules and bulk material;
what does “manufactured” includes ?
engineering processes and the control of matter.
what is ENM
engineered nanomaterials
what are the 3 properties of ENMs
- More molecules/atoms on the surface
- Increased Surface area
- Dominance of quantum effects
what is the size of atom/molecules
