    This document provides an introduction and overview of nanotechnology and nanomaterials. It discusses the history of nanotechnology and important milestones in the field. Nanomaterials are defined as materials with an average grain size less than 100 nanometers. The document explains that nanotechnology exploits the benefits of ultra-small size, such as enabling transparent coatings and more weight-efficient surface modification using minimal material.

    What is Nanomaterial?
    • Nanomaterials are commonly defined as
    materials with an average grain size less
    than 100 nanometers.

    • One billion nanometers equals one meter


    Comparisons
    The average width of a human hair is on the
    order of 100,000 nanometers

    A single particle of smoke is in the order of


    1,000 nanometers.
    Why Nanotech?
    A small science with a huge potential
    Why Nanotech?
    • Nanotechnology exploits benefits of
    ultra small size, enabling the use of
    particles to deliver a range of important
    benefits…
    – Small particles are ‘invisible’ :
    • Transparent Coatings/Films are attainable
    – Small particles are very weight efficient:
    • Surfaces can be modified with minimal material.
    Components
    Weight efficient and Uniform
    coverage
    • Large spherical
    particles do not
    cover much surface
